It's the 2022 Midterm predictions!

[Jehanne]

I first started on Usenet 30 years ago, alt.atheism; I was a YEC Christian fundamentalist back in those days and was posting crap along the lines of the Omphalos hypothesis.  Almost immediately I got the Last Thursdayism responses, which really caused me to think about things.  I ended-up getting a private email from a U of Chicago faculty member (Jerry Coyne?) who basically told me to get lost, saying that he could not, per U Chicago policy, post publicly to Usenet.  After that I ended-up at infidels.org before, eventually, finding my way here.

I started listening to podcasts on my Ipod years ago, at work, and found 'The Thinking Atheist' podcast.  From there I wandered over to the forum.  I have heard Seth Andrews speak a few times and met him and Aron Ra at some of the events.  Prior to that the only forum I was ever involved in was a domestic abuse forum back in the days of AOL and dial-up.

I remember the AOL dial-up, also! My very first modem was a 300-baud back in 1980 -- one could literally watch the characters write themselves across the monitor!
