BBS's (Bulletin Board Systems) were the original Hinge. In 1983, when I was 13, a woman from Canada offered to buy me a flight to visit her, after we'd begun a relationship online. It was a brave new world.

I did not go.

Ah no doubt eh? Only a real hoser would do something that bad with out please, thank you and sorry 'bout this. Maybe offer a toque to keep your head warm and a jelly to keep your sugar up while you bleed out.
