This significant anniversary prompted me to look through some of my
old PC backups, and lo and behold I found my original MOPO
subscription request for my old email address, which was March 1998.
Longer ago than I thought, although I ducked out for a while inbetween
due to the demands of my job at that time. For many years I was a
serial lurker, partly because I was overawed by the often "lively"
discussions between David K, Bruce, Freeman and Claude, and partly
because by the time I had downloaded all the emails on my painfully
slow dial-up connection (remember those?) when I got home at night,
the day was over. Interestingly, one of the first messages I bothered
to keep (from '99) was from Philipp (Kainbacher) warning about a
poster scam in Italy, so thanks Philipp!!
Greg, I don't think the person you met in London was Adrian as Tom was
suggesting, but far less impressively, me. I don't think you'd forget
Adrian. A Viking like Tom says. I'm a mere 6 feet tall, but he easily
towered over me with his distinctive flame red hair and beard. He rode
a Harley, and I have a decrepit old Ford Focus. Feels strange that
Adrian is no longer with us, as I used to bump into him regularly, and
I bought some of my first posters from him. Anyway, it was a real
pleasure to meet Greg with his merry band of musical vagabonds The
Former Members in London (Bull's Head, Barnes I think). Before I got
into film posters, my first love was my electric guitar, so it was
fantastic to see a fellow MOPOer and certified rock god wielding his
axe like it should be done.
You would've thought by now I'd have learned to reply to MOPO messages
properly, but I think I messed up when I tried to send thanks to Scott
a couple of days ago, so I'll try again! A big Thank You to Scott for
keeping the MOPO list going in such a generous and unassuming way. It
may be old technology, but it's outlasted many another forum.

Subject: Re: [MOPO] It's Our SILVER Anniversary! 25 Years of MoPo!
I've been here since the mid-90s and noticed cycles; there were times
when serious discussions about poster lore taught me much i didn't
know. I've met people I consider friends: Tom Martin, Rich Halegua,
Bruce Hershenson (i miss your presence and your wealth of knowledge),
the cuddly curmudgeon, Claude Litton, a nice man with a razor-sharp
wit (Claude: still got that ROBOT MONSTER insert you'd hinted you
might sell back to me?), Kirby McDaniel,;....a wonderful fellow I met
in London whose name, embarassingly, escapes me) who specialized in
Bond and Hitchcock material, the wonderful Nathalie Yafet...lawzy, it
goes on & on. I've been here through the epic battles, the Eugene
Hughes debacle (I eventually got all my stuff back.) I've watched
people come and go, lost pals to the Reaper (bye, Susan Olson)....but
let us raise a glass of fine Amontillado to Scott Burns whose patience
and love for the hobby remain apparent after a quarter of a century
(almost coinciding with my wedding anniversary.)
All together:
"We accept you! One of us!
We accept you! One of us!
We accept you! One of us!"
