it's very pleasant to be in a quiet place on the internets. Reminds me of those days when you could scan the entire newsfeed while you were supposed to be working. Now I'm awaiting the foretold return of Serdar Argic.

You are obviously old Usenet; which groups did you frequent?

There were so many....sigh... I made my very first post to alt.shut.the.hell.up.geek in 1992. Then alt.conspiracy, alt.fan.wodehouse, rec.music.ragtime, alt.revisionism, soc.history, alt.conspiracy.jfk, alt.alien.vampire.flonk.flonk.flonk, alt.usenet.kooks, alt.flame, and probably fifty or so others. One got around in those days -- it was the thing that attracted me to Usenet, along with the literacy.
