The situation was much different at the dawn of the internet, way back in the late 20th century, when packaged web platforms were part of  dial-up access! The move to https secure sites and more intelligent web browsers is hastening this process. Some of the early contributors have moved on to other platforms, changed interests, and in some cases may have become too old!
