The internet is filled with communities that all have the same looks to their forums, all powered by vBulletin; there are dozens all looking the same, after establishing which actually I feel makes you appreciate the differences in topic even moreso: motorbikes and riding, unicycles, kinky sex and in fact there are hundreds, perhaps thousands of sites; and unlike an Eisteddfod with one song sung a score of subtly different ways, this is the same boring website again and again but with a host of diverse topics.

I’ll add another one to the list: Lockpicking 101. It’s an under-comprehended discipline, and people should take time to learn what distinguishes a good lock from a bad one, and that 20 bad locks do not equate to a single good one.

A lot like firewalls, really.
