I got my first modem in 1985 or so, so yes, I did
(ebulliently) engage in
flame wars (platform and otherwise :)
At that time, flame wars where already history, in '85, only under age
school kids where trying to recreate that feeling. The avant garde had
already moved! > (just to
add the personal level - no flame war realy errupts without)
