Usenet is dying. Hopefully in the future forums were people can see

common, flaming and trolling will become much less. It's the anonymity
of spoof names and only seeing writing on a VDU that cause flaming and
trolling, as the perpetrator doesn’t see a real person's facial
expressions or body language.

Remember the good old days when people (mainly nerds) used computers as
a refuge from face-to-face interactions...



I was one of them, I started using the internet by using dial up narrow
band in 1996 at 48kps.
