You must have had access to a different internet than I did. That is not and has never been true.

The only way for everyone to be 'equal on the internet' (whatever that means) is to throw away or disregard everything that makes each of us unique, and all that leaves us with is a homogeneous beige sludge.

I’m sure it’s no irony to you - That right now. I’m reading your comment as if we are entirely equals no matter what the circumstances of your background or whatever job you have.

The only thing I know about you is that you call yourself, “basscomm” and unless I go digging (something that I couldn’t have done in the era of the BBS) then I’d have no way of judging your character before reading the words that you speak.
