Gee, does anyone really care about this stuff? I think not.
Yes, plenty of us are interested.

Cretin - a stupid, obtuse, or mentally defective person. (Webster's)
Just because 6:59 asked the question, he/she's a cretin?

The notion that the history of this program is uninteresting or unimportant would find a home only in the mind of a stupid or obtuse person. A cretin.
