msagara, How can you write so coherently off the top of your head? My comment is going to be a real ramble.
I didn't go online until 1999 (despite programming computers since 1980) so I missed GEnie and all that. My pre-lj experience has mainly been eGroups (now Yahoo), which tends to have flaming and porn-takeovers, and LISTSERV, also flame territory. LJ is much much better, even if it isn't really working out for me. I'm probably going to have to delete my complete friends list for example. I don't think you'll mind.
BTW I've read "What She Won't Remember" (just checked to make sure. I assume there aren't 2 Michelle Sagaras writing SF) -- even paid for the book --, so I guess I'm entitled to one comment like this in your journal.
