Yes. It's too bad. Those were the people who were doing real research
and sharing results. But even then, no two people could agree on the
correct approach, so any collaboration on a project was impossible.
It's even worse now that people are mostly sharing ideas without the
research.

I can think of two. In one case, he was able to continue his work on
simulated evolution, thanks to the mental institutions in Canada
having internet access. But he was banned from the list. If you saw
his rambling posts about alien brain implants and other paranoia, you
would understand.
