...early 19th-century English craftsmen...

That's interesting. I didn't know that. I think I've always associated the word "Luddite" as having something to do with the Pennsylvania Dutch or whatnot. I had know idea it went back to England, and it carries the implication of not just mere refusal of technology but actual sabotage of it. Interesting.
