My guess is the sheer amount of data that archive.org has, which means: - even higher costs associated with seeding archives (egress traffic, storage iops capacity required etc) - chances of finding a 3rd-party seed for arbitrary file would

...which could also be a PTSD-esque reaction and not a sign of ignorance. As in "I'm so tired of being affected by this nonsense, when this would even stop". People who don't really care would, in my experience, use sarc

What you're showing here is not concatenation, there are fancy borders between file chunks and whatnot. Unless you have very different, unconventional definition of concatenation. In fact, you're at odds with bat's README: &g

I'm not sure if I'd count examples with spaces and comments towards valid emails, because one could argue these are not part of the address, they're email header syntax details. Like, sure, FWS from RFC can be used somewhere
