Abstract
I have been on the net since long before it was the web. I started in December of 1983, and except for a two year hiatus when Syracuse took relay down, have been on it throughout my adult life. A great deal of my social life and friendships take place over the net, and most of the time I don’t really need the face to face contact. Yes, the net is for me a pretty good replacement for face to face social interaction. I have been on many groups; I was on ND to discuss net life when I first joined Cybermind. Cybermind sometimes discussed net life as well. Sometimes it was frivolous but it felt open, flexible, and lively. ND, at that time felt neither important nor lively to me. If you talk of life out there on ND, you get ignored or told to play in the traffic. It got so bad I finally walked, but came back later.
