prince- I wrote 'disruptive', not 'insulting'. There was nothing insulting about your challenge and I basically agree with what you're saying and trying to do. But I also think that it's ultimately futile and because it generates a number of responses each time you post it, it essentially disrupts the diamondiferous discussion. (triple alliteration! woohoo!)

I hosted a series of bulletin board systems in the early 1980's, then joined the first real non-internet PC network which was called FidoNet. FidoNet 'echoed' the Unix-based Usenet newsgroups, the precursor to these message boards that existed long before the world wide web was born in the early 1990's. The Usenet newsgroup databases were purchased some time back by Google and they have a convenient interface.

I've been messing with computers since 1966, and was a founding employee of an early microcomputer manufacturer, so yes, I've been there, and did that. LOL!
