Dogs and cats living together. Mass hysteria.

Speaking of the Simpsons, do you think the people on alt.nerd.obsessive were better?

Who said anything about the Simpsons? ๐Ÿ˜˜

I never went there, to be honest. All my newsgroups were programming/computer/game related or were piracy groups. I think, in general, newsgroups were better because there was a barrier of entry that was required to get there. Now that anyone can just download an app and spew whatever garbage they want in seconds, we have what we have.

Are you old enough to remember actual flame wars on Usenet, etc.? That's what I'm talking about. The people who invented the term "flame war" weren't deterred by a high barrier to entry.
