Irony

Irony is complaining about the software used on a site to complain about software.
So, each poster's thread gets archived under a host named for
their email address. There is no way whatsoever to link to
individual posts on these pages; only entire threads get an
address. Just great!! Who needs links anyway -- this web
thingamajig is silly anyway!

Whatever, I was trying to look up an old post from Aaron Crane
(as it turns out; didn't know it at the time), in a thread from
Yossi Kreinin.

Yossi has a dot in his mail address.

You guessed it: there's no way to get at his threads.

Note that http://hates-software.com/authors/ lists
http://hates-software.com/authors/yossi.kreinin/ which seems
good, except it redirects... to
http://yossi.hates-software.com/.kreinin/ -- 404.

Does it get any MORE broken?
