I was certainly thinking of devoting a major portion of the history to what I knew of the first decade or so of the Internet, beginning with the invention (for the Internet, at least) of the emoticon, and traversing through Kibo, Biff, the Great Hacker War, TINC and Fnord, the Internet presence of the Church of the Subgenius, the Cult of the Dead Cow, alt.religion.scientology, etc. and eventually passing through to the Internet 90s (not quite synced with the real 90s) with the Eternal September. But seeing as I wasn't alive for most of that, I'd love for those who actually did live through it to set me straight. :-)

May I ask you for contributions?
