”flame” (på engelska). FOLDOC. 11 mars 2001. http://foldoc.org/index.cgi?query=flame&action=Search. Läst 10 oktober 2008. ”When I joined the Harvard student radio station (WHRB) in 1966, the terms flame and flamer were already well established there to refer to impolite ranting and to those who performed it. Communication among the students who worked at the station was by means of what today you might call a paper-based Usenet group. Everyone wrote comments to one another in a large ledger.”
