Ask HN: USENET postings that helped define a generation

1 pointsby andrewlynchalmost 14 years ago
Hi There,<p>I'm putting together an article on USENET posting over the 3 decades.<p>There are obviously the infamous Linus Torvalds and Jeff Bezos message, however, I'm wanting to look deeper and examine the more personal side of USENET. For<p>I would be humbled if you could tell me your USENET stories. What did USENET teach you? Did you have a posting go "viral"? What do you most remember about usenet? What posts helped define and inspired you. Did you find love on USENET?<p>Thank you for sharing :)<p>Andrew Lynch http://about.me/andrewlynch andrew@memeburn.com
