>[...] were rediscovered by readers at software coding website Hacker News, kicking off a fiery yet inaccessible 160-comment thread about backwards compatibility and PC system requirements.

Maybe I misread this but what was inaccessible about that thread?




The opening thread is debating whether open standards cause backwards compatibility or not, the difficulty one may have opening a wordperfect file, and the design aesthetics of using HMTL tables.


I read it as "I don't know what they are talking about and I'm going to make it their fault".
