Heh, yeah. Agreed. I listend to an MTV dance music nostalgia show last
night, from a year when I remmembered it was all great. In retrospect - it
sucked.

There is a story that a british political comic, punch
(http://www.punch.co.uk) carried a letter its 1842 edition (the 2nd)
saying that punch was "not as good as it used to be", people have been
saying that ever since. It became the motto.
