Had to post this one…it isn’t petty, it isn’t regular, and it ruined a guys journalistic career.
The internet has evolved quite a lot over the years. Some people may remember usenet groups, I know I do, used to have a lot of fun reading them. Kind of similar in a way to today’s reddit in a way…no matter what the subject was, someone would have a usenet newsgroup for it. But unlike todays reddit, it was strictly text. You could download images, but they would take forever to download, and could often be across several different messages…just one of the messages missing, and you wouldn’t get the image. Things then improved, download speeds slowly got faster, and then there was IRC that came about. IRC saw the same thing…there was chatroom for anything and everything…and if there wasn’t, you could clearly create it. If you were to try to watch a video over the internet back then, it could take you a couple of hours to download a music video…you get the idea. This is important for the context of the story.
