Ten years of Salon

    Salon Changed My Life

    In about 1998 I was a divorced single mom with a three year old. I worked full time, and spent the rest of the time with my son. Table Talk late at night WAS my social life. (Can't remember what my handle was back then, or I'd tell you.) Anyway, one late night I lamented on one of the more personal threads about my lonely existence, and someone I had come to cyber-trust said I really should try one of the on-line matchmaking services. On the strength of that, I did, and I met the man I married in 2001. He loves my kid, and changed my life dramatically for the better. So I have a real soft spot for Salon as it celebrates its first decade. Yours was the one of the first online communities, and I sure feel lucky to have been a part of it.
