I was in college in 1998 when the Starr report came out, detailing President Clinton's sex life. Back then it wasn't easy to download such a big document to your computer, so a lot of people came to the computer center, which I managed, to look at it. But it was long and they didn't want to read it in the computer center, so they started printing out the 90+ page report! (printing was free)

It go so bad we had to ask all the people that printed it if they could bring their copies back when they were done, so we could have a lending library of the Starr report.

My point is, you're right, it's a great time to be alive -- you don't have to tell anyone about your interest in these things. :) (although on the flip side there was a pretty good watercooler discussion of the report at the computer center)
