Post #130,223 by Nightowl 12/11/03 9:50:01 AM Reply	Re: Actually, Affinity was nowhere near Usenet Well, I realize that Affinity was smaller, I didn't mean size though, I meant in the way people treated one another. I heard about how people were treated on Usenet, and it soundedv very similar to the way people treated one another for the majority, on Affinity. Smaller subset of the whole, I guess.

To get an idea of how insane usenet can be, look up who the Karla Homolka in alt.fan.karla.homolka is. To make it easier, look up her ex-husband, Paul Bernardo too. They lived near Toronto, Ontario. --\n-------------------------------------------------------------------\n* Jack Troughton jake at consultron.ca \n [link\|http://consultron.ca\|http://consultron.ca] [link\|irc://irc.ecomstation.ca\|irc://irc.ecomstation.ca] \n Kingston Ontario Canada [link\|news://news.consultron.ca\|news://news.consultron.ca] *\n-------------------------------------------------------------------
