In particular was one oddie that may have contributed to teen suicide—alt.suicide.holiday—and I think it still exists. for more info I just checked on an old gem that once amused me “what constitutes a hoochie?” and it still exists! The girl who did it is long through school, probably well into her career path and probably a mother with teen children. It is still funny —sort of a play on the “what constitutes a redneck?” stuff by Ray Stevens[?] Lots of stuff is still out there because cleaning old stuff off the servers is a laborious process, but uncatalogued.
