You're already a fucking laughing stock, and there's no hope for you.
Oh, that fateful day when AOL joined usenet, and usenet died.
IIRC that wasn't the same day.
Usenet did not die that way. In fact, it was later that year? the next year? that I was one of the 13 proponents who created a new Big 8 newsgroup.... On the other hand, AOL was a *royal* pain, given that they autosubscribed people to selected newsgroups... and alt.best.of.internet was one, and they had no clue, "we can post whatever we want wherever we want"....
