A friend of mine, nicknamed Poiny, who will know who he is if he finds
this on the web, used to carry on lengthly abusive conversations with
people he didn't know, whom he thought himself superior to, way back in
1986. All through the amazing invention of the Internet and Usenet groups.
When I was busy getting more education, after my BA, I remember reading
about Laura Lemay and wanting to be like her. I wanted to write books!
Eons after reading her diatribes on her Killer of Trees website I
finally started getting picked to write techie books. All thanks to Ms.
Lemay. [curtsy]
