The difference of course being that, in the 80s and (at least very early) 90s, the prick
stirring up trouble usually had some sort of a technical clue. At least if it wasn't
September.
Ah. Damn you AOL, why'd you have to go taking away all our nice things?

What did I assume? I was openly wondering why they haven't implemented
restrictions on that FanDeZhi system, then I got the usual IBM partisan
mob after me (like before) here.
Nope. You just got your wittle peepee whacked by people who have actually done this
before.
Did you ever try to log on there?
Nope. I have my own.

Didn't you threaten me with violence a while back? Not the wisest
thing you can do. It's not the 1980s Usenet, it's not an electronic
El Dorado.
Ha!! Kiss my ass.
