Right now, for me, it’s the message board on Stephen King’s section of his publisher’s website. Full of puerile poetry and writers waiting to be discovered, and garden variety psychos who can’t spell, write, or edit a post. “Hey, I wrote a screenplay. Wonder if Stephen King ever reads this board.” Not bloody likely. Oh, and they flamed me. Hurt my feelings. But it’s like a car wreck – I keep driving by to see what’s smoking. It’s actually kind of fun, so maybe it isn’t totally useless. Cancel this, changed my mind. ---

My vote would be anyone’s personal home page with absolutely nothing of use to anyone but perhaps their relatives. Who wants to see pictures of someone’s cat?! I don’t care that you went to Oriental, NC for vacation and I certainly don’t want to see photos of you, your slobbering 3-yr-old and your overweight spouse. * * * “Quoth the Raven, ‘Nevermore.’” E A Poe ---

ConMan - My personal homepage is precisely for viewing by family & friends. Our closest relatives are more then 1,000 miles away and friends from many years are scattered as widely. I don’t expect you to find it interesting or entertaining. I certainly think it would be pointless to you and I can’t imagine why you’d visit it on purpose. But it provides a great way for those in its intended audience to keep in touch. ---

Well, my own site is both boring and pointless. Boring, because it is just a bunch of my bad artwork, and pointless because I’m the only one who sees it regularly, and I’ve already read it all. * * * [http://www.madpoet.com](http://www.madpoet.com) Computers have let mankind make mistakes faster than any other invention, with the possible exception of tequila and handguns. ---

I like to check in at [www.bringdown.com,](http://www.bringdown.com,) which in itself is very entertaining in a bitter and cynical way. Among the many treats is the “Moron of the Month” link to home pages of people like the guy who posts pictures of himself doing his ironing in the nude. ---

I would have expected Tuba to make a contribution by now. If you ask her real nice she’s been known to produce a website or two that leaves you wondering “Was it bad taste, or no taste at all?” Some of 'em give new meaning to the word prosaic.
