Wh ohas the time to dig through all that ancient history? Aside from that,
think of it as a public document of your continued growth and change. It
would be interesting if we could get a glimpse into people in former ages
like that. (Still, we have to dig though a lot of useless stuff to get to
the gems, even today, especially since we are drowning in the former. Which
brings up another issue: Does society today produce better works than in
former times now that the barriers for entry are much lower?)

Of course, you still decide what to send... So it's still biased. Where's
Zero and ubiquitous surveillance?:)

Cheers!
