[QUOTE="orangecuse, post: 3304757, member: 668"]
I'm from the AOL days and came on board after lurking for a bit. I can't recall how I stumbled across the board back then, but perhaps though from Syracuse.com.  After a long time lurking, I decided to post. I didn't give much thought to my first handle, as it came easy to me.  I was a huge [I]Jimmy Lee[/I] fan in my youth, so it was a no-brainer that that was it for me.  The world wide web was pretty much in its infancy then, 14.4/28.8 kbps dial-up was it!  But man, how great this was!

Being relatively young at the time, I didn't pay much attention to proper grammar, punctuation, etc. as this was the new frontier for Pete's sake and what a place to talk SU sports and that's what really the focus...right?   However, this poster who responded to a couple of my posts was so aggressive in attack and additionally belittled the heck out of me relative to my lack of spell checking prowess.  Who was this[I] Igo[/I]r character and why is he coming after me so hard?  Aren't we all here because of our love for SU and its hoops, etc.  I had much thinner skin then, so I basically said bite me dude and went back to lurking.

I also was a subscriber to "Big East Briefs" back in the day as well as Clark Francis' "The Hoop Scoop."  Good times.  :)
