Hi I still use usenet (netnews) sometimes... It's still alive and kicking, just like irc (see www.mirc.com).

Most of the people I interact with are female. Everyone I interact with are adults age 18 or above. Sometimes I pay people to do work for me, such as writing a report. I am interested in choosing/forming and paying a team of freelancers at their hourly rates to participate in a recorded brainstorming video chat online short session(s), for example 30 minutes one-off or occasionally, to discuss ideas and issues that I think up, for possible upload to the internet such as onto my YouTube channel. Whenever I pay staff to work for me, I do it on a prepaid basis, so that they only work for time I have already paid them for. I sometimes interact as friends with people that have any disability (physical or mental) since I think that is a good way to "give back" to Centrelink for all their financial help to me through disability support pension that I receive due to my schizophrenia and aspergers, and also, through karma, if I help disabled people through friendship then someone might help me with my disabilities, and also, they really appreciate when I chat with them online. I am age 47 male. I work from home wherever possible, otherwise I am able to come into the workplace anytime I choose during the business's working hours without any notice or appointment, preferably late afternoon or evening.
