Is this the correct place to point out that the first people with 'net access were the military?

Although, I agree that the level of discourse on-line took a major hit in '95 when Prodigy hit the scene.

ridiculous.

how were spelling, punctuation, grammar, paragraphing, etc., pre-Prodigy?

what i would find interesting is a history of cyberscorting. i have read, elsewhere, other escorts thanking DoD for being the pioneer in this area. but, that may be a localized phenomenon.

oh, justme, i came upon an unfamiliar word yesterday: "eldritch."

3. That these same men can be pretty understanding and intelligent.
4. That they think providers are fucked up and stupid psychos.
5. That they think every single detail of a provider's life is their business, but god forbid a provider should try to protect herself by checking an ID or something.
6. That they have a wide range of what they find ethical and acceptable.
7. That they think ALL women are at least potential whores, and that rather than taking this to mean that being a whore must therefore be a logical thing, they believe that ALL women are therefore bad.
8. That some men are really looking for a great experience with an attractive woman who at least seems to like him, but others are only out to see just how depraved and cheap an experience can be.

I've been evesdropping on JAG for over a year now - ever since I was a provider. I go back once in a while because it's damned entertaining, and it reminds me of why I don't want to go back into providing.

I know that if I did, the JAG board would fairly hum with gleeful speculations on how I must have failed at being a normal person, or how I'm a dumb, lazy, greedy psycho slut who just can't get up off her back. This would be especially true since I told people have a college degree from a prestigious school, and many people assumed I was lying, a la Educated Escort.

It's a shame, though, because I sometimes think it could be fun to see a client or two a week. I MISS the sex, I MISS the excitment, and I could use a couple hundred extra a week.
It sounds like you really miss the BIZ and this is a way to stay involved. It is like any relationship, you vent to your friends but you still love your partner. It is just a place for men to express themselves and maybe you should start a women only site (wait and see what is said on that !!!
