There is something innate about the internet that, if not careful, can make you stupid.

I've been doing this internet thing since it was something you'd have to dial into with your 9600 baud modem.  Before the internet, when I was a 14-year-old kid, I would spend hours, if not days sitting around a 16 color monitor with my friend and operate his Renegade BBS.  It didn't help that he had call waiting that his dad would not let him disable.  It also didn't help his modem was a 2400 baud modem in the days of 9600 baud.

It seems he took offense to my reporting one of his more imbecilic dupes. Words were exchanged. Tempers flared. In the end, he said that K5 would remain the mess that it is now, and that he felt compelled to to do his part to make sure that was the case. Then he politely bid me adeiu and suggested I come here.
