When John Gilmore isn’t crusading to protect air travelers’
privacy, he blows off steam by presenting
random groups of headshots
of Usenet posters, as captured at Usenix conferences in “meatspace,” so
Usenet people could attach a face to a name in the days before web
pages made everyone as ubiquitous as they want to be. It
only took me three pages of these headshots to run into a former ANS cow
orker. Most-recoemmended are anyone whose email address ends in .uucp,
an old, just-about-obsolete domain for computers that used Unix-to-Unix
Copy Protocol to transfer mail and news in the days before an always-on
line was feasible.
