      After that, everything will be click-bait instead? (Not clicking that.)

          He didn't said dangerous, he said click-bait

              Apparently I do not understand the importance of the distinction. Wikipedia reports the term as a misrepresentation. Ok. But so what. That merely alters the inquiry. If the bait is swallowed one will find no misrepresentation only numerous brief humorous articles re/ internet from which the title is quoted.

                spam[^] will never be solved, it's contents remain a mystery...hence the term mystery meat.

                    On similar lines : - "It is impossible for heavier-than-air machines to fly" - Lord Kelvin in 1895. - "Everything that needs to be invented has been invented" - Commissioner of the US Patent office in 1899.

                        Don't believe anything Clifford Stoll or Robert Metcalfe says. Half of the predictions are by them and they're all very wrong :~ The last one about snow being a thing of the past is slowly becoming truth. We used to have snow every winter when I was younger. We now have it maybe a few days per year and not nearly as much.
