and the internet was a new thing, and the tubes were all still shiny, I thought, what a wondrous and great thing the Internet will be. it will allow people all over the world to communicate with one another, to have an interchange of ideas and make the world a better place. I remember logging in to Usenet singing IGY.

And I started to meet people. I started to talk. I started to interact. I began to get to know people from all over the world. And I realized I was wrong. And now I know:

You used to have to go out and meet new people to hate them. Now you can hate people a thousand miles away that you have never met, from the comfort of your couch.
