   On the Usenet I usually lurk in the comp and misc hierarchy (comp.misc,   
   comp.dcom.telecom, comp.sys.tandy, misc.news.*, the dictator.* groups) and   
   some of the urban planning groups.  I'm not an active participant, but I do   
   read.   
      
   Gopher is more a nostalgia thing for me.  I usually browse the gopher holes   
   at SDF (which is full of mostly "half-started" gopher sites) or try to find   
   something intersting through Floodgap.  No real favourites other than   
   Floodgap or Gopherpedia.   
      
   Went to the Deep Web a few times.  Crawled back out.  There's some truly   
   fucked up people out there... more fucked up than the Usenet on a bad day.

   Am I really conceited?  No, but I have every right to be!
