i have no idea when my first post to this newsgroup happened and
i don't know exactly when my first usenet post happened, but it was
probably sometime between the fall of 1981 and 1986. i know i was
reading and writing to some email lists back then too. for a while
i could only read usenet posts but could not write back and then
someone made it work that the local system would propagate posts.

i wrote some good stuff back then, i was full of much more BS
than i am now. :)

my real early posts i had saved some of them but that disk
crashed and i never recovered all of it and eventually i even
erased my backups of the bits of the crashed disk so i could
stop thinking about messing with it more. i just did not want
all that old e-mails to dredge through and also all my old
usenet posts. the things that i missed the most though were
a few poems i wrote. they were good. now lost in the bits
of time unless someone finds a full usenet archive that i can
actually search without tearing what is little left of my
hair out.
