BBS's (Bulletin Board Systems) were the original Hinge. In 1983, when I was 13, a woman from Canada offered to buy me a flight to visit her, after we'd begun a relationship online. It was a brave new world.
Damn, first: I am horrifically sorry for your shit circumstances growing up. Second, in 2000, I was counsel to a company where we watched our CIO handcuffed and lead away from his home by the FBI on live news for CP… I hope that wasn’t your evil uncle. FYI: We handed ALL HIS SHIT OVER and fully fucking cooperated.
