I actually can think of 10 or so who were around in 1992 who still post now and again. Hmmm, come to think of it, I think there might be about 15 others. So no, by I absolutely do NOT claim to be the earliest list member still around, but in terms of the entire life of the fandom and the list, I believe I wouldn't be incorrect in calling myself one of the first. Eighteen years, holy smokes, the enormity of it hadn't actually sunk in until I read your post. Suddenly I can just imagine LaCroix reflecting on his life so far, thinking "Wow I really AM old!". (not that I can recall LC ever saying "wow" :-) ). Oh no, visions of Babylon 5 are slipping through as well, though I laugh at the image of myself as one of the reclusive First Ones who bark out the word ZOG!!! when they're recally cranky. (BTW that means "no" as I recall) >Since I didn't join until 2004, this is history to me--fascinating, >certainly, but.... >Well, let's face it, I'm kind of doing archaeology, here. Actually don't knock it, I think it's a fantastic idea! I know there are those who archive specific aspects of the show and/or the fandom (for example, fiction - naturally, episode synopses, fan events, actor/actress careers, etc), but I can't think of anyone ever wanting to record our list digests. I'm sorry to say I didn't do so myself, but there has to be SOMEONE who did it. >We don't, most of us, keep detailed diaries (especially not in those >pre-blog days). But *any* memory you recall is better than no >memory at all! How about a reminiscence or two about the >Good Old Days? >I never took part in a War, though the last of them--War 12--took >place in the fall of 2004, a few months after I joined. Oh, that. I haven't seen THAT particular four letter word for many years and was hoping never to see it again (nothing against you, of course, just the whole experience of the thing). I have a feeling I know what comes next from here. W. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 26 Jul 2010 07:34:41 -0400 From: Mildred Cady <mildred.cady@g.......> Subject: Re: OT: Twitter?

It'd be really cool if we could get #fkwar trending as a topic... might be a little publicity. :) I'm not sure as to the status of IRC these days. ~Mildred Merc Mommy General ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 26 Jul 2010 11:32:26 -0400 From: Lisa McDavid <mclisa@m.......> Subject: Admin: Going to War topic for war-related posts It's Monday so as of now, posts to Forkni-l or Fkfic-l about the forthcoming war need the topic war:. Please be sure the put the colon after the word. The colon tells the listserv that the preceding word is a topic. Thanks!
