Another banal one, alas, but I'll tell it for those who haven't seen it before.
I got online via GEnie, back in the days of the dinosaurs roaming the earth - y'know, when a 28.8 modem was WICKED FAST and nobody ever heard of Gbs yet. GEnie was a text-based BBS. That's where I met a lot of X-Files fans, and Selene and Jared and Keith and Yog Sysop. GEnie kinda fell apart eventually when it was sold, and the SF&F foras' (all three of them, very very busy places, like a 24/7 convention, woohoo!) mods decided to set up their own e-place. Well, actually, one went one way (Dueling Modems), and Yog teamed up with 'Unca Jade' to create SFF Net. I followed Yog, and I've been there ever since.
'Corgi', as you might guess, was kinda snatched up most places I had to create usernames for, but there was only one Corgi (and a corgi breeder, but let's not talk about her) on SFF Net. Since I am somewhat proud of my virtual home, I tacked it on as a difference. The only diff is whether it gets a dot/underscore/dash, in a vain attempt to get people to separate the two parts verbally. ^_^
And there, I just took up way too many of your pixels.
