Thank-you, Scott!!!!!!!! Think of what you've done for history just
by having opened this site! I'm sure your efforts have been the start
of the yellow brick road for many a restoration. It's a very cool
thing that you've done.
THanks again,
Andrea Kanter

Lucky 13 is upon us....
MoPo celebrates birthday number 13 today! The first official
listserv message was distributed on February 24, 1995.
The first MoPo'ers, all 11 of them, actually started communicating
in January 1995 by simply forwarding their posts to the e-mail
addresses of the other members. One of our early members, Adam
Erhlich, a student at American University, was able to set up the
listserv at AU. Adam graduated and left the group a long time ago,
but I'm still grateful to him for what he did back in 1995. I'm
also very thankful that AU still allows us to use their listserv.
In addition to the listserv/e-mail system, for just over 4 years
MoPo was also distributed via the usenet newsgroups. Anyone
remember bit.listserv.movie.memorabilia or usenet in general? :)
When AU closed the mail to newsgroup gateway in July 1999, that put
an end to our association with usenet. But the spam, porn and
bizarre antics of some newsgroup readers were already spelling the
end to that association even before AU forced us into it. Does
anyone still look at the newsgroups?
Once again, for the sake of giving credit where credit is due...here
are the 11 original members of MoPo:
Mahtab Moayeri, Michael Danese, Rob Ellis, Donna Tschetter, Goh Kai
Shen, Evan Zweifel, George Nichol, Cynthia Nemeth-Johannes, Adam
Ehrlich, Static555 (his real name unknown, due to the AOL mail
system!) and myself, your listowner!
Thanks to all MoPo members, past and present, for keeping MoPo alive!
