Heh, sounds like a lot of fun actually! While it may have been slow, it brought people with shared interests together, and I can't think of anything more fun than that.

I kind of wish I could have seen that, instead of Twitter, which is more dramatic than a soap opera, and Facebook, which goes against the fundamental rule of interaction on the internet: never give out your personal information.

But with advances in technology comes more ways to abuse it, I suppose.

The internet has become what I associate with old time billboard advertising pollution on highway off-ramps. At least in that context the billboards didn't suddenly pop-up in front of the steering wheel and/or brake/gas pedals.

The Midnight Pub has been a rare exception in my internet experience in the last couple decades. I want to say the last environ matching my textural needs was Craiglist fora, which actually has me a bit gasping in disbelief. It's just never been the same for me since USENET mostly went by the wayside.

Hey, I've really appreciated your timely interaction! Nice to see replies so quickly - or let's say quickly enough that whatever I wrote you're replying to still constitutes semi-warm mental embers.
