Let her rot

[Black Orchid]

Looks like Valkie has gone into repeat mode.

No logical argument

So its simply repeat and repeat the same boring old mantra.

Poor sad troll

Perhaps it's PTSD from his on line gaming. It couldn't be from fighting, he has none of the attributes of a real man.

Someone else here does the same thing Brian. I wonder who?

ONLINE GAMING? Is that what you do, Brian?

You do realise that Forums are Old Hat and only Old Farts continue to type crap to other Old Farts on this type of forum.

Do you also understand that what you say is taken as just some nutcase raving on?

He isn't a nutcase

Just seriously disturbed.

Bri Bri is a societal quisling.
He is more a danger to all citizens than both Islamic terrorism and Leftwing fascist terrorism of the like seen in NZ, put together.

Poor, poor, Neferti. I am an "old fart". I have been online, contributing to "forums" since 1987, when I first logged onto a university mainframe and discovered USENet forums, well before there was an "internet". Since then, I have been using them and webforums. I have seen more "old farts" more than likely than you have had hot dinners. People like you, come and go. You discover the "internet" and then forums and start contributing until your new toy appears.

[Valkie]

And we believe you.

1987 eh?

Which uni?

Did you post pictures?

[brian ross]

1. Good.
2. Yes.
3. ANU
4. Initially, there was no way to post pictures to USENet, then various encoding systems were introduced. Most of time, it was a waste of time and no, I didn't post any.

You know fuck all, you Old Fart!

When I joined the Commonwealth Public Service in February, 1986, we, too, had a Mainframe ... which was huge .... so I know all about USENet Forums.

I had my first PC at home in 1983 ... I got the Real Internet (WWW) in August 1995 when Microsoft introduced Windows 95 .... it was costing me $5 an HOUR back then because even the Commonwealth Public Service did NOT have the internet at that time!

I recall that one month in 1995, I got charged $300 for internet usage .... mainly because I was contributing to "forums" in the evening to people all around the World ... I still communicate with most of them!

You, of course, did all this internet activity "at work" when you were supposed to be working and the Aussie TAXPAYER paid for your activities. I paid my own way for my Internet activities.

Don't you start telling me who I am and what I know.

I never got into Fidonet (or "doggy net" as it was known). I knew one or two doggy net administrators but it never appealed to me. It relied on dialup modems.

I topped the entire (limited at the time) USENet heirachy with the greatest number of posts in a month in 1988 (the topic which I was particularly concerned with was the American ignorance of the limits of the US Constitution WRT Australia and the Australian gun controversy). I first encountered the WWW in 1991. I first encountered a WWW forum in ~1994.

I don't doubt you had access to USEnet, Neferti. However, I cannot remember encountering a single post from a single poster from a public service site in the USENet newsgroups I posted in (almost exclusively aus.flame, aus.politics, sci.military, alt.computers.folklore). Public servants who used USENet newsgroups were as rare as hen's teeth I suspect. All my interlocutors were from initially Australian universities and then later, after the Voyager Space Probes, US universities and then UK universities. I can remember when turn 'round times for USENet were 24+ hours and was amazed when they become 5-15 minutes.

Oh, I recall most of those USEnet sites. The IT Tech in charge of the Mainframe, used to get bored and all we had was CCMail ... so he and I started chatting, on the computer. Interesting times. I doubt he let anybody else into it. It would have been against the rules. The position I was in allowed me to do whatever, as I was bored too. I can't remember even meeting that IT guy ... he was just somebody I "typed at" on the computer screen, up on the 3rd Floor or wherever.
