Back when I was a fresh-faced youth I recoiled in disgust. Now when I see it I greet it as an old friend, a wistful reminder of a time when the internet was still largely wild and untamed by corporate interest.

I was genuinely sad to find out that the guy died a while back, but then was relieved to find out that it was just a meme and that he's still alive.

That was a real rollercoaster story but great happy ending!
