> BTW, were you using either the Internet or the web before the early 90's?
You mean "the 80's" then. No I was working on mainframes. Much more fun.
> When have you used the Internet without using the web?
Many many times. Usenet, FTP, telnet, bulletin boards etc.
> Are you this hard to communicate with in real life?
Given that my day job is being a System Engineer for a search company, one has to be pedantic to a certain degree - but you appear to be leveling a claim of my being difficult to communicate with due to a minor error on your part that was corrected by someone that can differentiate between the two. But to answer your question: No, I can be far far worse, if necessary :p
