Oh I know a lot of the story, but maybe not all of it. I was trying to
give the Reader's Digest version...
I think Daniel posted something more about it elsewhere...

There was a WHOLE LOT more to it than that Bill. It's a long and
rather ugly story. The great part is, out of the Part-15 ashes, we
got WISPA!

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!

I don’t think it was more than an hour later. I honestly thought he
shut it down. I sent him several offlist emails asking about it.
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 <http://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..

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.
