Steve Thompson blundered: With all due respect, only geezers reminisce about the good old days. You're age is showing. Steve, if you live within a nuke's radius of NYC, move. Tim's got at least a dozen Samsons lockered in this area already. This bunker can resist only a baker's. Last time I did a genital mental inspection of subscribers here most were Gzrs, and heavily armed, iron and attitude, none Viagara'd. Forget about intervention. Think safety off. Think so many to off, so little time. WMD are the problem and the solution. Freedom out of the barrel of a homeland rig, etc. AP is a kiddie version of what tickling the tiger's tail of a Gzr MAD scientist can command. Most of these venerable assassinators work for governments, but some of them moonlight. Tinker for fun. Get pissed at co-workers, bosses. Gzrs hooked on revenge. Call it dreaming of immortality.

So if things look different, I'm still me. And May is still a tentacle of Medusa!)

I remember when I could *read* all of Usenet, I remember (circa 1988) when I could read about 30 newsgroups. I'm afraid you predate me by a few years. :) I had a crude ARPANet account in 1973 or so, and I accessed the Net from my lab at Intel in around 1983, but my own real Net access also started in 1988. A Portal account, when civilians first were able to get real accounts. Even then, using rn and trn and then tin, reading all of Usenet was not something I even tried to do. --Tim May
