'Did anyone hear about the man who left his wife of 6 years so that
he could marry someone he met on the net and had a 3 year
relationship of cybersex with.
He never met her, and yet he left his wife. What's this
technology thing coming to?

        The gu sounds like an asshole and probably would be with or without
new techie toys to play with.  

I'll second raven.  I think it doesn't have much to do with the tech.
just the people using the tech.  But that is how it always is...

That's a third over here...  And no, its how one uses the tech that makes one a
luser, as wuz pointed to by Neil, (#2).

<humdog curtseys>

What they said.  Idiots are everywhere.  With or without computers.

I hope he was *very* unpleasantly surprised.

Wait! This is a serious discussion.

Is that a modem in your pocket or are you just ...

Sounds like the 7 year itch to me.

Well, they got divorced already. It's all over. She said he was much
more selfish and greedy then he was on the computer. Now they arn't even
friends

Why am I not surprised

Hey, now... what if it had turned out nicely?
Nay-sayers, all!  that's what I say.
Of course, they probably should have met at *least* once.

a person called <fireball> should present himself before
humdog immediately.

Uh-oh, better run Jeremy

Y'all can run, but you cain't hide.

why run? go ahead flame me...think about...flame...fire...
have fun all
<fireball sits back and waits>

i had no intention to flame you.
i just admired your log-in

oh...okay <fireball resumes his normal standing position, insted
of his defensive position of a moment before>
thanks...I've gotten a coouple of comments about it...it's a long
story...

No point in a defensive stance anyway.  It'll come when you least expect
it.

Tell the story!

Tell, tell!

IT sounds like the "mail order bride" gone *wack*-O  (whack-0?)
one third for raven!
That guy probably knows his devorce lawayer better than his last two wives!
(I mean, we arleready know how welll he knew his computer...)

I had a problem. I changed my passowrd and then Forgot it.

Now I am back.

it was probably one of those neo-cryptic passwords. I *hate* those.

I
                forgot my
        password
                                        then I 
                        changed
                                                                it.
weird, hm?

KeEp ChAnGiN !1!1!!11

Softly, she would change it soooooofffftlleeeeeeeee, 
after all the years....could not bear the tears to fallll.....

I can't cope with change.  I just toss it all in a jar on my mantel.

just like light!  Pickle it and make it so!  (that's got to be one
HELL of a jar, or one hell of a mantel!)

and one hell of a room.  I can see jupiter from here......ascii is a drug.

hey, I have a problem

I seem to have forgotten all of my passwords.

Perhaps could someone help me get them back so I can get back on Grex?

thanks a lot!!!

I wonder what people think about the changes in the internet culture
between 1994 and now.  This story was probably rather shocking back
then, but now it seems rather humdrum.  Have people changed?  Have the
technological changes done this?  What do y'all think?

Well, i'd heard similar stories well before '94...but they involved people
who'd "met", "got to know each other", etc. over the telephone.  Whatever
the medium, i don't see such stories as shocking, or even newsworthy.  It's
the same human nature as Homer wrote about thousands of years ago.
