Simpler? Most Assuredly!

Before WWW, the newsgroups, chat rooms, and messaging like FIDONET had short, clear coherent exchanges of ideas. But with access by the masses, half the stuff is pure dreck! FR not excluded.

Without being too sarcastic, nowadays if I said a had a truly enjoyable fart, twenty people would let me know it was God's will, fifty would let me know I'm a crude SOB,another twenty would blame it on Clinton, five would give me the history of the most memorable farts and two would remind me of my constitutional right to fart.

Things change, not improve.
