This single sentence contains everything for which these internets were built: provocation, humor, porn and single-phrase political agitprop. The Platonic ideal of a tweet, albeit not at all platonic in spirit:https://twitter.com/nachosarah/status/1188825378112102401 …
I am old enough to remember those who built these here internets, and, strangely enough, they were mostly physicists -- some working for the DoD, yes, but most just trying to keep each other up to date on the results of their various atom-smashing experiments. Ah, welladay.

This '82 MIT guide excerpt seems appropriate: "For example, personal messages to other ARPAnet subscribers (for example, to arrange a get-together or check and say a friendly hello) are generally not considered harmful."

Yes, indeed. Those were the days. Personal messages often concerned only such things as how best to avoid being killed by a mugwump. Virtually no provocation, humor, porn, or single-phrase political agitprop discernible on the internet back then. Sigh.
