I remember being in a canoe with my dad telling him about Usenet. I said
something like "It's super cool, Dad, it's all smart people. They have
things divided up sort of like fields in a University. So I can ask a
question specific to some field and by the next day I've got an answer
from a grad student or someone great in that field. It's awesome, I
wish more people were on it."
Got my wish. Wish I hadn't wished that. I'm sorry, folks, it's all
my fault, such is my power :)
