Why exactly are these reminiscent pieces other than verifying that the past really existed getting upvotes lately?

Probably because it's interesting? I never saw the web in its infancy like this. I've spent hours browsing archive.org before to see what the early days of the internet was like back then.
Wow, that comment made me feel old.
As someone who first got on the internet in 1995 at the age of 17, I know that feel.
Note the Yahoo logo image map. :)
Yeah, I thought the image map was hilarious.
The second link in the menu, "Cool" goes through at least 4 redirects before winding up back on the www.yahoo.com home page :)
I'm so glad the days of image maps are gone!
me neither - I used lynx ;)
How often do you see any web startup these days post a phone number, let alone a physical address?
if you're afraid of associating your contact data with your startup you're either running an illegal site or you're ashamed of your own idea.
Or you provide support some other way than by phone. Plenty of consumer startups large and small don't have an easily reachable phone number on their sites.
I am not posting my contact data on a website of mine because I do not want my real life social circle to know about one of my online circles. it is a simple matter of privacy. your comment is a strawmen or how you call that. there are many more possible reasonings than your two.
