What's the deal with your nickname? How did you get it? If your nickname is self-explanatory, then tell everyone when you first started using the internet, and what was the first thing that made you say "wow, this isn't just a place for freaks after all?" Was it a website? Was it an email from a long-lost friend? Go on, spill it.

often enough i don't "do dialog" but it's got to be the way to go - and that's what happenned with the net - this was a stream of dialog upfront /personal/private/secret/exposed/commercial etc etc - and i couild get it whwerever i go - that was 93 ish - at work (i said "how do you use a mouse?") - everyone of my age was saying "computers are toooo hard" - and I was saying "give me more" - still doing it, still loving it
