The internet underground in the late 90s/early 2000s was absolutely full of Australians. I feel like I hardly encounter them anymore, for some reason.

G'day! Logged on '94 or '95 at Edith Cowan University in Perth and was blown away to find an episode guide for a fair chunk of The X-Files Season 2, and we'd only seen the first season! We knew when the "cool" episodes were coming up because we could see William B. Davis (The Cigarette-Smoking Man) in the cast list.

The X-Files is gone, but I'm still here. :-)

Another Perthonality here :-P

Hi from Tassie.

I am extremely disappointed by the distinct lack of "C" words in the replies to this comment... We seem to be forgetting our national identity.

Chin up, cobber.
