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.
My user name is just a condensation of my real name.
God, Mathowie: that must've been 1992 or 1993, back when the big apps were USENET, email, and gopher. I kinda knew gopher had something right, but when email really broke wide open in college in 1993 that you could pretty much tell something was up. If you could get my roommate (a semi-Luddite and future frat president) obsessing about downloads off USENET, you were really onto something.
