Fantastic! And a Happy Birthday to Mopo with many thanks as well as
kudos to Scott for keeping it alive and well. I've met some great
folks and learned a bunch. Bravo!
Take care,

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.
