I can't let the day pass without mentioning another MoPo milestone..
Birthday Number 17!
On February 24, 1995 the first MoPo post was distributed via American
University's listserv. For a few weeks prior to that date, the original MoPo
members simply cc'd their e-mail messages to the other 11 people in the
group. In keeping with my annual tradition, I'd like to recognize those 11:
Mahtab Moayeri, Michael Danese, Rob Ellis, Donna Tschetter, Goh Kai Shen,
Evan Zweifel, George Nichol, Cynthia Nemeth-Johannes, Adam Ehrlich, myself
(your humble listowner) and AOL'er Static555-who for the first time I can
finally identify as Jeff Static. For years I was unsure of Static555's real
name, but by digging through the early MoPo archives I finally stumbled upon
his true identity. Michael, Rob and Evan are still members.
Thanks to you all for keeping MoPo alive these 17 years even in the face of
a lot of competition from those more graphically-enhanced discussion boards.
Also a big thanks to American University for the use of their ever-reliable
listserv system, a dinosaur that they continue to support. And thanks to the
original 11 who got MoPo off to a fine start way back in 1995.
