What happens to the data you didn’t think worth saving?
Where did all those things we did in the 80s go?
I’m pretty sure that the first website I ever made for pay was in 1999. I don’t have the backup, but more importantly I don’t have backups of all the goth-turned-kink things I did before then, and I can’t help but wonder where it all went. Where did the data go when hotlips and then velvet.net went down? I actually once picked up a guy at a party because I had an @velvet address and he knew the owner. I wonder if three years of good sex makes up for the loss of all that angsty poetry.

Stephen, thank you, I have just discovered that I met someone I thought I just met a couple of years ago much much earlier through the Boston geek crowd. Because there are really only 7 people and a dog in the world.
