Hello Chris,

The trouts predated even IRC. I used them when I ran a BBS in the mid
90s, and even then I picked up the trout habit from somewhere else
(don't recall where). So, trouting has been around f'ever.

I honestly can't remember where I first heard the term, but I know it
predates the BBS boom.

Anyone else know where it started?


BTW, I took this to TBOT, so please reply there.
