I remember spending way too much time reading threads on usenet (fr.comp.sys.mac, mostly) on the beloved MacSOUP. In this dial-up area it was great to be able to download a forum content and read it offline, writing the answers offline, and then synchronizing everything when going online. On the other hand my communication skills were atrocious, and it took me way too long to understand that sarcasms have no place on forums... In many ways I feel like reddit is sort of the new usenet (without warez, as far as I know), but it's not quite the same.
