Yeah. Me too. That's what I thought. The "I QUIT!" message, and not very
long after that all the messages stopped. All I thought was that he
really did quit.
The list lives regardless!

Nothing. Pretty sure he went somewhere and came back after a weekend
or something. I don’t know how long part-15 kept going after that. I
felt bad about it but I didn’t do it as a coup. Not sure if Michael
ever believed that.
Folks were contacting me wondering the same things we I gave folks a
place to hang out.

That's pretty much how I remember it. Quite ironic that the server
crashed the day that Bullet (Bullit?) wrote the "I QUIT!" message.
Kind of a strange twist of fate I guess.

One day he got mad and sent a note “I OUIT!!!” to the list. He was
pissed because someone posted a Trango question on the Canopy list or
something like that.
Then, part 15 quit working. It stayed down all day. That evening I
was fielding lots of questions about whether or not part 15 was done
for good.
We set up a listserv and told everyone about it and everyone ended up
here. Michael realized a day or two later that his server had
crashed ( I think he may have went on a short vacation or something).
By then everyone was chatting over here.
(We did take a rather odd detour through WISPA for a while, but they
decided they then owned the list and we got it out of there).

Part-15.org days—wow, haven’t thought of that for a while. What was
the name of the dude who ran that list? IIRC something went down
between him and Chuck? Some kind of conflict..

Lawrenceburg / Anderson County.
I don't need it *now* but I am scouting in advance of being there.
Don't need a ton of bandwidth, just decent latency and reliability
for working from home. Good-ol-days 900Mhz Canopy -- no thanks.
Thanks to anyone who gots any help.
