Back in the 90s, I went into Usenet a few times.
If I’m remembering as clearly as I think, I did.
There were some forums back then that I entered on the WWW like the White Water area...
Ran into Jim there one early morning. We had been participating on the Prodigy WW BB at that time...
Alt.Politics was my fave.
There was a guy, Steve Litvinchouk,[sp?] who was a Usenet god.
I was a groupie.
He was brilliant, efficient, cold and lethal.
His flames were works of art.
He was a veritable verbal Jujitsu black belt.
I studied his every post and hope a bit of him rubbed off.
