Dan...why do you write "pardon the expression". Is that not
correct to
write "me too" ?
In internet culture, "me too" has come to be a somewhat notorious
phrase
associated with AOL users and other "internet newbies". It comes
from
AOL message boards (and possibly Prodigy or other message boards
before
that) where often when someone would post something about how they
liked
a movie or song or something, there'd be 10 replies that basically
just
said "me too". Sometimes in more words ("I also like that!" or
something), but the effect was the same, so these became known as
"me
too" posts.
Prodigy, definitely. I first began living on the computer cuz of that during 1992.
It was as bad as AOL is now. Then again, I was 8 then, so I was a bit of a brat
myself.:-)
