A few eons ago, there existed in cyberspace an irreverent and slightly off-colour web site by name of “Hypomaniac.” Its demise began when the brains and brawn of the operation was kicked off the public library’s computer for his use of profanity, which was followed by an extended disclaimer from the evicting librarian that she had not, in fact, been reading the document over his shoulder. The final nail in the coffin came when tripod.com inexplicably discontinued said page due to “inactivity.”
Since then, time has marched on, and in the process, we have become older and wiser. Rather than easing our concerns about the state of the world, however, this newfound maturity has only made us more alarmed. Indeed, we would collectively argue that current conditions MANDATED a re-launch. With the desire to turn over a new leaf/hypertext, accompanied by our improved mental state (?) (and the fact that the site by that name was already claimed by somebody hoping to provide help for those actually suffering from the malaise), we settled upon a new name, “Typomaniac,” which, according to a website we discovered, means "one with a manic desire to see oneself in print.”
Unfortunately, this could not be verified by any legitimate dictionary, and besides, it turns out another troubled soul had already claimed that website (and not produced anything since 2001, we might add), leaving us in a slightly frazzled and manic state.
Back where we started, as it were...
