JonKatz was the reason I got a/. login. I had stopped reading because his blatherings annoyed me too much. Someone let me know that if you had a login you could filter out his crap.
It is fitting that his reminiscence is a grammatical and logical train wreck. "If convention media had followed the idealism and values of Rob and Jeff, they might not now be such a shambles."
If he had started writing sooner I could have gotten a four digit ID

Meh. I have a 3 digit palindrome. And a 2 letter nick. That's hard to top.

Some of us held out and didn't create accounts over cookies . . .
Eventually, I just *had* to comment on something, broke down, and took the account (but with great hesitance).
I don't remember if I used a separate browser instance for it back then. eventually, this and a few others (very few) were allowed to have cookies
