Thanks, but while I wasn't aware of that, if someone had told me it pre-dated the web then I'd pretty much have guessed something like that was why. The Web just made things much easier & more accessible for non-technical people to use. BBSs, USENET, IRC, etc. were all in heavy use well before that.

I agree. I'm just sharing an article I found when I saw your post and decided to look into it, because I thought it was interesting.
