 Dan...why do you write "pardon the expression". Is that not   correct to

  write "me too" ?  
 In internet culture, "me too" has come to be a somewhat notorious 
 phrase 
 associated with AOL users and other "internet newbies".  It comes 
 from 
 AOL message boards (and possibly Prodigy or other message boards 
 before 
 that) where often when someone would post something about how they 
 liked 
 a movie or song or something, there'd be 10 replies that basically 
 just 
 said "me too".  Sometimes in more words ("I also like that!" or 
 something), but the effect was the same, so these became known as 
 "me 
 too" posts. 
Prodigy, definitely. I first began living on the computer cuz of that during 1992.

It was as bad as AOL is now. Then again, I was 8 then, so I was a bit of a brat
myself.:-)
