For reference this is the only thing of mine I know to have been put on the Something Awful forums, and that was second- or third- hand. It was a fucking 2002/3 sophomore anthropology paper. One of the more pompous lines (sorry) got turned into a Matrix “Agent Smith” meme, which were called “macros” back then.

In high school (late ’90s) I had a goon friend, he went by “Chaucer” with a Card Captor Sakura sig. So I heard shit in the lunchroom and couldn’t figure why anyone would pay $10 for that while USENET was free.
