Never forget that things have a habit of turning up again when you least expect them.  Nearly 20 years ago I made my first usenet posting to introduce my presence to the world, or more particularly the fact that our machine had joined the wonderful usenet community.

I loved the great email  address that I had at the time !uunet!mcsun!ukc!pyrltd!uk96sup!carl - try explaining that one over the phone to people.
