In the new issue of Ms. Magazine, there is a story titled "Electronic Lover", about a man who masqueraded as a disabled woman on CompuServe, and how his unmasking affected the other people on the net who had built up sometimes intimate relationships with him. This is a true story, not fiction. CompuServe is a little different from Usenet, of course, but if you are into high-tech electronic bulletin board communications and its affect on inter-personal relationships, this makes amusing and amazing reading.
