.....
Back in the day, Usenet was a sane and friendly place to be. I
was only 13 when this message was posted to "NET.sources," and
I didn't even know about the Internet until 3 years later,
didn't use it until 4 years later, but I pine for the
days when Usenet wasn't a toilet, all the news groups were
helpful (not just the few that remain so today like
comp.lang.python), and reputation really did mean
something.
We live in belated times.
