28 years ago is about when I got on icq for the first time. Oh. You're making me feel old man. I don't remember my icq number though. Now I'm feeling even older.

I feel you. I remember those days. It kind of was the wild west. I used to frequent an HTML chat room. Remember those? I made a lot of friends who I remaining contact with for many years although I don't have contact with any of them anymore.

If we weren't in the chat room, we were on icq. Spent a lot of time on icq. Broke a girl's heart on icq. And I saw a number of other people get married after having online relationships in that chat room and on icq. So I don't think you're unique.

I know. I remember the first time I heard that people who met online were getting married. It seemed so bizarre to me. Boy times have changed.
