Well, I think most people's answers have appeared in several different threads, but I guess it would be nice to see them all in one thread. Here's my answer:
I've been around this internet place long enough to become pretty jaded about it all. I use it now to keep up with news, current affairs, entertainment etc. Nothing special, I've already done all the fucking around and being amazed at the chances for communication. Quite frankly, when the internet started it was a dream. Getting online wasn't easy - you had to be a real techie with lots of savvy, and it was easy to find people with common interests etc. These days, I'm sure we all agree, the internet is populated by 90% assholes. It sure feels like that sometimes. I no longer chat and post in as many places as I once did. In fact, this is the only forum I post in at all now. I feel alienated everywhere else by the a/s/l AOL motherfuckers who have come out of nowhere in the past two years. I don't have time for that shit, so as far as the actually participating in the internet goes, here is the only place I do that anymore. I guess I'm just old and jaded now, but you may eat me. I like you guys and feel part of something here. That's very rare these days in the net.
