very Interesting! And, of course, we lived the "psychosis" through those years. I have to say if not for DU which I joined in 2002(the reason I got a 'puter).. I don't know what I would have done. I certainly wouldn't have been watching corporatemediawhore$' narrative.

DU was extremely cathartic back then.

I remember Jonathon Franzen's name but nothing else about. I'll check this out.

We miss Borders on Island too.
