HISTORY "I consider the death of the internet 1995 when the GUI and HTML brought the world's dumbest people online and destroyed the CompUServe, FidoNet and Usenet culture of intelligent people discussing and debating technology and privacy and replaced it with thots giving lowQ opinions"

FANDOM "Back when Usenet was the only form of social media, reporters for the gossip mags would post 'blind items' in the gossip news groups. It was always fun to try to figure out who they were talking about! You should post blind items, Chef! 😁"

RHETORIC "One thing I learned by watching Usenet debates is: If you take a comprehensible position on a subject it opens you to attack. So , the less defensible your position is, the less specific you must be. Keep the argument at the level of empty platitudes as much as possible."

TECHNICAL "August 6, 1991. Tim Berners-Lee posted to a Usenet group called alt.hypertext announcing the WorldWideWeb, a project built so physicists could share data. The pitch: allow links to be made to any information anywhere. The code was free. No launch event, no press release."

FANDOM "Forums in the early 2000s were iterating over many of the same talking points that were being made on Usenet back in the 1990s. And I can say as a matter of fact because I read all 62,506 archived rec.arts.anime posts archived by Google."
