      That shit always cracks me up

      the internet did not begin when you first started paying attention to it

        True, although in my case, I’ve been paying attention to it since 1989. So I at least can say I was there when the web began.

          You’re the exception. The fact you know the distinction between the internet and the web proves that.

            I know I am. I started on the Internet playing MUDs over Telnet, chatting on IRC and posting on Usenet.
