Good job!

How interesting that Helmut posted his analysis of MoPo posts from
the past week TODAY, which just happens to be MoPo’s 19th birthday.
As Bruce then commented, the other 2 existing poster forums “are
pretty dead” as well. Are we really all talked out? Has Facebook
taken over the world? Is MoPo an Internet dinosaur and no longer
necessary? Questions to ponder…but first, as I always do every
February 24th, a brief review of MoPo history…
On February 24, 1995 the first official MoPo post was distributed
via American University’s listserv. For a few weeks prior to that
launch date, the handful of original MoPo members simply cc’d their
e-mail messages to the other people in the group (there were 11 at
the beginning). In keeping with my annual tradition, I’d like to
recognize those MoPo pioneers:
Mahtab Moayeri, Michael Danese, Rob Ellis, Donna Tschetter, Goh Kai
Shen, Evan Zweifel, George Nichol, Cindy Nemeth-Johannes, Adam
Ehrlich, myself (your humble listowner) and AOL’er Static555—real
name Jeff Static. Michael, Rob and Evan are still members. Cindy
sadly passed away in June 2008, but her husband Jay has taken her
place on MoPo. Hats off to all the MoPo originals!
I’d also like to send out my annual thank you to American
University, our generous host. I’m surprised, but grateful, they
continue to maintain their listserv system, a relic from the early
days of the Internet. Yes, it has limitations (no fancy graphics,
mail delivery issues) but it still serves our intimate group well.
Happy 19th Birthday MoPo! But will we make it to 20? Should we?
My deepest thanks to all of you for the ride (so far) and for
however long it lasts!
