I remember back in the early 1990's as the web took off people bemoaning the fact that the oiks from AOL were bringing the tone down.

Back then studying for a PhD was almost the defacto minimum requirement to have access. Few undergrads outside computer science had access.

As an illustration, back then, once I got into a usenet discussion with some called Martin Rees ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Rees ) on the nature of science.
