I remember being in a canoe with my dad telling him about Usenet. I said something like "It's super cool, Dad, it's all smart people. They have things divided up sort of like fields in a University. So I can ask a question specific to some field and by the next day I've got an answer from a grad student or someone great in that field. It's awesome, I wish more people were on it." Got my wish. Wish I hadn't wished that. I'm sorry, folks, it's all my fault, such is my power :)
