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.
Bondcliff is the name of a mountain in New Hampshire. As a teenager I saw it on a hiking map, saw how remote (for New England) it was and said “Some day I’m going to go there.” Well, some day I did. Then I went back a few times, in all seasons, and eventually as a trip leader I brought other people there. It seemed like a decent username.
I started using the internet around, oh, I dunno, 1995 or so. First at work and then at home on AOL. Before that I did some BBSing back in the 80s on a TRS-80 CoCo with a 300 baud modem. I’m not sure when it all clicked, probably when I used Usenet to solicit ideas for a marriage proposal.
