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.

Cohiba is a brand of cuban cigar I'm quite partial to. They cost about 30 quid each in the UK but I get mine from the factory in Havana for about a dollar each!

Guess I've been using the 'net since about 1996 when I was at college in Norwich. We used to just put words like "fetish" into search engines and see what comes up.. it was endless fun!

I think napster and the ilk really made the net as it demonstrated that content and connectivity are not mutially exclusive, all within an egalitarian framework. That's one for the technological determinists to think about!
