I was considering mentioning that GenX stuff, but I felt it was too obscure and would only serve to posture my creds :)

Your creds could be diminished based on which usenet forums you frequented. I had a little while in my 90s youth obsessed with researching marihuana, libertarian ideals, and discrediting Scientology in the alt.scientology groups. Not great, kind of normal for usenet, but there were much darker places to inhabit there. Worst of all was posting from my university account with my real name.

Usenet is where I discovered slack.
