Interestingly enough, it possibly contradicts the conclusions of the guy who wrote that blog entry, but the geeks who had access to Compuserv then might be a different breed of geeks now.<BR/><BR/>Dang!

Back in the days of Compuserve and its forums (generally known only to geekdom--most of the populace wasn't online yet), we had a number of interesting discussions on Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06575673813724483738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15397078.post-1162389820047573812006-11-01T08:03:00.000-06:002006-11-01T08:03:00.000-06:00Heh heh.

Apparently, I've overreacted.<BR/><BR/>Another interesting observation, though: the guy who wrote that entry is a TV writer, probably best known but necessarily well known for his writing on <I>Charlie Jade</I>. I'm an aspiring novelist. Neither of us have the willingness to really take fanfic seriously.

The entry was interesting, and it surely points to parts of our own community who we need to establish re-education camps for.

From this subset he is looking at fan reaction to one show, Battlestar Galactica.
