[racket-dev] ACM publishing and ArXiv

In 2000, search wasn't nearly as good as it is now. 
If your memory is so bad, perhaps you are getting old :-) 

What I am saying is that back then, the classification 
took us to look in specific places. If we had a single
organization that classified all these papers, we probably 
would have found the paper -- even though we didn't 
search for the specific terms. 

Even though you seem to think Google replaces brains, 
browsing through catalogues of papers brings forth 
adjancencies that Google doesn't find.
