No way that was in the 90s. Was it??
I first saw it on Usenet which I stopped using about 99, so yah, sometime before that. Probably mid 90s or a little later.
Yeah it's pre-9/11
Holy crap, I had no idea. I remember learning about it during the fark.com fazed.net days so I thought it was at least 2003 ish.
