Am I the only one surprised that it took such a long time for them to do this?

How did Jimmy Wales got there before Stallman, using an ideology that was pretty much ushered by Stallman as Guerrilla Warfare?

I know that Stallman has his fair share of quirks, who doesn't? But I believe in today's world, he is more of a forgotten hero, whose "quriks" get highlighted more than his long list of achievements and just for inspiring people to join the bandwagon of open source coding.

Has anyone else even heard of the "internet hall of fame" before now?

It reminds me of those "best of the web" and "site of the day" badges people put on their sites in Web 0.95 patch level c.

Though horrible and garish, it's good to see the million dollar homepage still honouring his pledge.

He didn't. He's also being inducted this year.
