"The 1980s: Fish, fonts and fucking"

Apparantly I was all the rage in 1990.

While nothing to do with usenet, if you find this drivel amusing you'll probably like this too.


AQUARIA

I was responsible for the first aquaria newsgroup and (cough) a few others (snicker) that came later.


FONTS
comp.fonts

I created this one, too. All those thousands of hours and we're stuck with Arial and Verdana. Does that show you how irrelevant usenet is or what?


ALT.SEX

There is a difference between beeing responsible for the creation of the newsgroup "alt.sex" and being responsible for all the sexual content on the internet. The former is mine the latter I have absolutely nothing to do with.


OTHER

There's a bunch of other newsgroups I'm responsible for.


TERMS

Crap I get blamed for

I talk funny. Now other people talk funny. Now you talk funny.


PEOPLE

Folks I've met

doctors  
cabal  

Oh brother...
