    Usenet

    Any of you guys remember the old usenet group? That was my first foray into Charger internet discussions and was a Godsend for a Charger fan in the Midwest. Guys like Ray Fiest (famous author and Charger fan), Iceman (he used to call Seau the most overrated player in the league), Randy, I think maybe KNSD, Robin, bunch of others. Any of you guys on this new board now?

    I remember the old usenet group. I posted there occasionally. Wasn't there a Baba Booey there too?

      I was on there for a while before I joined the Sporting News board. I think I used Field 17 over there, been so long I don't remember. Wasn't Mad Dog over there with us?

          Yeah, I remember you Field being over there occasionally. I think Mad Dog was there but used his real name.

            I still read the posts there every day. There are a few loyal holdouts who can be determined to always post there. I still post occasionally.

              I haven't checked any usenet groups in years, they had become so decimated with spammers and trolls. I'm surprised they're still being used.

                I also remember listening to Lee Pete on the radio on the Stardust line in the 80's. Before sports radio was on 24hrs a day. It was an incredible show, some of you may remember because the signal of the station was so strong there were many Southern Cal listeners. Who would have known sports radio would turn into what it is now. Talking about the usenet just reminded me of those days, wow.

                  YES! Used to post there all the time before I found forums. Loved that place, there were some good posters there. I remember a few of you from there.

                    I used to read it but never posted. I pretty much only started posting when the "quick reply" box appeared.

                      Now you are talking old school! That was my first online Charger hangout as well.
