   Ppl always understate the labor in scholarly archives by saying "how hard could it be to make a website for hosting PDFs," and then while you are busy explaining "not hard, but the hard part isn't the web tech part, it's ...." NSF Fastlane busts in the door and says "watch how hard we can make it look to host PDFs"

     we need an agreed upon shorthand for "doing an italian accent" like we have /s tags for sarcasm

     What, you wanted an HTTP server that can respond to a GET request in less than 10 seconds and give a Content-Length header so your browser knows how much data to expect? This ain't the ritz buddy, who do you think I am? Some guy that's made out of the default behavior of any modern HTTP server? Next you'll be asking to serve faster than 100kbps like some whackadoo

     Awkward. I can see @jonny's italics render fine but not my very own. We need to find a more democratic representation of italian accents.

     It looks like markdown on my Tusky app; hope that's a useful data point
