"There is not much human diversity in cyberspace, which is populated, as near
as I can tell, by white males under 50 with plenty of computer terminal
time, great typing skills, high math SATs, strongly held opinions on just
about everything, and an excruciating face-to-face shyness, especially
with the opposite sex."

--John Perry Barlow, in "Is There a There in Cyberspace," Utne Reader
March-April 1995

Does Barlow's stereotype hold true for the Internet junkies that you
know? For the 2020 discussion list?
