mircea_popescu: as far as i recall the main problem was you couldn't insure against X person cause he could just buy that insurance secretly and then default

Azelphur: spose I answered your question anyway though, haha
Azelphur: I don't think that's correct at all (what does a web have to do with html documents)
mircea_popescu: it's not a matter of what i think. the web is the sum of all html documents and their connections (ie links).
