New enough and long enough. QPQ present. No textual issues I can see; both sources are interesting and cited. ALT0 is cited to a press release but it seems like the reasoning came directly from the Internet Hall of Fame. The other source seems OK. I notice she seems to prefer full lowercase style for her name which caught me off guard in ALT1 and isn't mentioned, but that's more of an MOS matter than anything. I think this one's good.
