Subject: Nostalgia for the "real"


I haven't really been active on this list for many years.
Nevertheless, I must admit feeling a little sad reading the news about
this list closing down. I hope you all - Mark, Erik, Evan, Steve, and
all the names I forgot - will have a great life. Thanks for all the
cool discussions we had earlier.
