What's the deal with your nickname? How did you get it? If your nickname is self-explanatory, then tell everyone when you first started using the internet, and what was the first thing that made you say "wow, this isn't just a place for freaks after all?" Was it a website? Was it an email from a long-lost friend? Go on, spill it.
After kicking around CompuServe on and off since 1986, I finally ended up on the Internet in the early 90s where I discovered the joys of Usenet: conversing with people halfway across the world about the same obscure indie bands, learning the real meaning of "signal-to-noise" ratio and how to use a killfile. Some things never change.
