Following the discovery of radium, the new (radioactive) wonder element was added to wristwatches, children's toys, toothpaste, and even chocolate. But today, we know better. We wouldn't take a new product that we knew was bad for us and bad for the planet and jam it into everything, would we?

Some of us didn't hop online in the 90s or the 2000s to get rich and famous, man. Some of us hopped online in the 90s and 2000s 'cause it was FUN to chat with people all over the world... for free! Baby, we grew up when it cost a zillion dollars to call long distance! We had pen pals at school!

Tendency to be horrible to females? I've worked with Robin many a time. A gentle soul who is genuinely interested in people. Always have a laugh and a good chat when we run into each other backstage. Have heard no negative reports in the 20 years+ I have known him. To put it more simply: Bullshit.
