Don't let later-day internet revisionist history take the joy out of you. No matter what the Wikipedia warriors profess, it was real.
So much truth has been lost in the last ten years because people who didn't experience the past don't believe the things that happened; and if references aren't a link away, they tell the world things that happened before their time are false.
BTW, I was reading your Twitter the other day, and saw that you complained that Wikipedia doesn't have any information about TTY - only two paragraphs and nothing more. Now you are here, I have to tell you that you have accidentally set your browser's Wikipedia language to "Simple English" [0], which is a special edition of Wikipedia for English learners, it only has few editors, thus most articles are incomplete. On the other hand, the normal "English" Wikipedia has a fairly standard introduction to TTY [1], around 16 pages on my screen. You've missed a lot, don't forget to switch your language back to "English" if you haven't done it already ;-)
I don't understand how that could have happened, so I won't address that issue. But this leaves me baffled:
I was reading your Twitter the other day,
This has to be the single worst decision you've made this month.
As far as I'm concerned, my Twitter feed is write-only memory. The SMS equivalent of dev/null.
If you're ever tempted to do so in the future, reconsider. Go for a walk. Write some poetry. Make love to your wife. Do anything else. We get so little time on this planet, please don't waste what you have looking at what I have to say.
Many months ago, mid-June I believe. Not this month.
AWESOME :)
