Reading @bruces annual thing made me realize why I had an instinctive aversion to letter dot wiki. The mannered faux-genteel 18th-century republic-of-letters vibe is too jarring for me. The Well is 35 years old but feels fresher (both form/content) than this “Dear Joe” larping.

The Well is like a historic building. Letter wiki is more like Caesar’s Palace in Vegas, but trying to pretend it’s actually Caesar’s Palace in Ancient Rome.
