    ICQ was my first foray into meeting girls online, back when that was a really weird thing to do.

    Post a/s/l to pay respects.

          There’s a quote that came from ICQ’s heyday that I had in mind when I wrote that:

          “The Internet: where men are men, women are men, and little girls are FBI agents.”

            We need to revise that for Lemmy.

            “Lemmy: Where men are men, and men are women, and women are men, and I think we’ve got a few women who were born women, and also there’s a whole bunch of new genders as well, and no genders at all, and that’s all cool with most of us.”

            It’s a mouthful and might not read well on a t-shirt, but we can workshop it.

              What was this from? I know the reference but can’t place it. I could obviously search for it but, hey, I’m trying to be social here.

                Man, I don’t know honestly. I believe i first saw / read it on IRC in the 90’s…

                and now I’m turning to dust. haha

                Thanks for being social!!!
