It starts out with "I'm sure you have heard ". I've never heard of blackboard,

This is one of my pet peeves in news publications. I think any statement that "I'm sure you have heard," should be a link to the LWN article that told it to me. Because I think many of us read LWN precisely because we don't read voluminous other sources of information.

I once subscribed to an afternoon print newspaper that always assumed I knew the day's major news before I picked it up. Well, I didn't.

FTR, while I can't say I never heard of Blackboard, I certainly had no recollection of it.
