A currently active thread here carries the Subject: line of "Re: [ih]
internet-history Digest, Vol 55, Issue 3" mentions a "Stef" who has
apparently been routed to That Great Internet In The Sky.
Before I continue, see if you can find anything in that paragraph that
might be changed for good purpose?
For me, the reminder that I am and will always be an Outsider because I
an not only not on a nickname basis, I am not on a first name basis, is
the worst.
I am an outsider. I accept that, although I have been writing computer
code since long before there were networks, much less inter-networks.
But being a youngster (1401 and 707x machines were my first and
DATAPHONE 50 was still a gleam) I don;t know how to extract meaning from
"Re: [ih] internet-history Digest, Vol 55, Issue 3".
