That is a falsehood. There are stupid comments, pointless comments, insane comments, offensive comments, pathetic comments, ignorant comments, posts that are not strictly speaking comments at all as they do not pertain to anything and any combination thereof.
The only thing missing are exceptions.

That's a Stallman quote, not a Sussman one.

I thought Stallman didn't use the World Wide Web, just electronic mail.

You can do the world wide web by electronic mail. Think of the web as hyperlinked text documents and you'll be enlightened.

In the days when the Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.

    "What are you doing?", asked Minsky.
    "I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-tac-toe", Sussman replied.
    "Why is the net wired randomly?", asked Minsky.
    "I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play", Sussman said.

    Minsky then shut his eyes.
    "Why do you close your eyes?" Sussman asked his teacher.
    "So that the room will be empty."
    At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

He sends mail to a daemon (presumably containing the web page's URL), which fetches the page with wget, and then mails it to him, presumably in some sort of Emacs major-mode that functions as a mail client. Of course, since wget -r doesn't work with http (if it did, wget -r http://google.com/ would return the entire web) that also means he misses scripts, images, and basically everything that makes the web better than fucking Gopher.

Would you guys recommend the old Kamen Rider shows (i.e., unhandsome Riders, I suppose), or old Super Sentai series? I thought about just watching some of the newer ones, but then I figured I might as well also watch something a little older.

You can refactor in Haskell a lot. The types ensure your large scale changes will be safe, if you're using types wisely. This will help your codebase scale. Make sure that your refactorings will cause type errors until complete.
