[ Isn't the inflammation stuperhighway |<00L!!!?!??!!?! ]
...[end quoted excerpt]
The full phrase appears to have evolved over a series of months on two separate
alt.folklore newsgroups where a number of threads exist lamenting what they saw
as an increase in low-quality posts across various newsgroups. Several members of
the newsgroups referenced aspects of the "September" issue, typically in a joking
manner.
In a thread on January 8, 1994, Joel Furr cross-posted asking "Is it just me, or
has Delphi unleashed a staggering amount of weirdos on the net?", which garnered
a reply from Karl Reinsch "Of course it's perpetually September for Delphi users,
isn't it?"[5] The day before, Furr had also posted the same message to >alt.folklore.urban, where David Fischer responded with a joke call-to-action >where he referred to the increasing numbers of Delphi users as the "Never-Ending-
September".[6] Fischer also replied to a different thread on January 25, 1994, in
alt.folklore.computers saying, "It's moot now. September 1993 will go down in net
history as the September that never ended."[7][8] This quote has been suggested
to have been the first reference.[9]
Possibly the first use of the "Eternal September" phrase was a newsgroup post by
John William Chambless in February 1994. He posted a rant including some excerpts
of low-quality articles he found in one of his newsgroups that day, but titled >the post "The Eternal September".[10] >https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternal_September#cite_note-Chambless-10

Is it just me, or has Delphi unleashed a staggering amount of weirdos on
the net?
Did they open up booths in mental institutions around the country,
handing out modems and accounts?
