"This article is a very nasty piece of work. Nastiness breathes from the commas and drips like Spanish moss from Wolf's fine sentences. Everything in the piece is contrived to promote disapproval rather than understanding. This hatchet job could be a textbook for a course in persuasive writing: every word, every detail has been chosen for its connotations of folly, decay, and despair rather than its accuracy or appropriateness.
The inaccuracies begin in the first sentence (there is no Marin Boulevard in Sausalito), but I will not chronicle them here; a partial list can be found at http://xanadu.net/wolfsbane"

on Peter Flynn, who created the first broken link
Peter Flynn began the workshop with a talk entitled Now You See It ... Now You Don't [2]. Peter, who works in the Computer Centre at University College Cork (UCC) was Ireland's first Webmaster (and, incidentally, the person who was responsible for the world's first broken link, back in 1991!)
