What's the deal with your nickname? How did you get it? If your nickname is self-explanatory, then tell everyone when you first started using the internet, and what was the first thing that made you say "wow, this isn't just a place for freaks after all?" Was it a website? Was it an email from a long-lost friend? Go on, spill it.

Oh, well it's simply an abbreviation...

But my history with the internet goes way back to c. 1990...was it even started yet? Anyhow, I recall using some service called "GEnie" and later came "Prodigy." How times have changed! I must admit, albeit much to my embarrassment, as pre-teen I spent hours on these sites trying to find picture of nude women...very offensive, I know, but I was rarely successful. These days it's no problem, not that I would really know.

Email was certainly a big wow, but limits of the interface back then were quite frustrating...ANYWAY;

I'm just here to promote peace & harmony in the world through education policy reform...love.
