You wanted to say "Switched Ethernet is awesome". The big problem of Etherpad before that was the large collision domain, which made things miserable with high load. What Ethernet had going for it before that was the low price - which is why you've seen 10base2 setups commonly in homes, while companies often preferred something like Token Ring.
Seriously? This is 2023, we don't have to pay homage to, or clarify our language regarding implementations and topologies that only a tiny fraction of current users are even aware they exist, and most of those have only read about them in a book, or manual.
Sir, this is a technology community!
