An alternate interpretation: that I had the smarts to make enough money to retire at age 34 for the rest of my life. Being that I'm now into my 11th year of said retirement, I'd say paying $20 a month to got.net for unlimited usage is a lot better deal than either "employment" or "academic" subsidy. I'd even pay $100 a month, if that was my only choice, to ensure freedom from the constraints and disclaimers forced upon corporate and even academic users.
Oh, and my first "academic" Net connection, modulo the Net not being very advanced or usable in those days, was in 1973.

I feel sorry for Tim May. He's so bored, he reads 'bot fodder. I suppose he studies the bounce messages from mailer deamons too.
