and today's digest, instead of being sent at 09:00 irish time, was
delivered at 13:52...

interesting... 

just as matter of course, i would like to announce that 30 jan marked
the end of my first year on the list. out of interest, who is the
absolute original founder ever? and who are the longest standing
posters? as far as i can see, will, tim, malcolm, matt stevenson, and
sonny get the honours.

i just re read my first ever digest V1 #178 and the only name i
recognise is luke seeman, who doesn't seem to post anymore.

curiously, out of seven posts in #179, six were authored by will. 

this stuff fascinates me. and it frightens me too, the fact that it
seems like only yesterday that i subbed, but while i've been here people
have arrived, become part of a living, breathing community, and then
left. the rate of personnel turnover on the net is insane.



:helena, cheerful, bizarrely.
