Re: [MOPO] 29 Years!

Wow! I forgot about the Mexican lobbies. I wonder how much money that seller invested in all those cards? "I bet those will be the Next Big Thing!", he probably speculated. 

As Chuck Berry once said, "It goes to show you never can tell."

I do kind of miss those passionate flame wars. Claude Litton, a very smart cookie who still plays racquet ball in his late 80s, used to cut through the crap on a regular basis. "Stop the nonsense and talk movie posters or please say in the background quietly. I am going to prevent his emails from coming through on my computer." That's Claude back in the early 2000s. In reality, Claude's a super nice guy who loves to talk movie posters. (I did make a mental note early on never to piss him off.)

Long life and many great posters to us all here at MOPO!

Back in San Diego playing music for money. Yay!

Congratulation Scott

That’s quite an achievement. Lots of interesting discussions and topics over the years and I recall the time when we used to have almost daily posts about Mexican lobby cards too, particularly when someone died.

Fellow MoPo’ers:

 

Time is moving way too fast….MoPo marks its 29^th birthday today. That’s amazing longevity for an Internet group.

 

February 24, 1995 was the day of the first official MoPo post via the American University listserv.

 

As is my custom, here’s my annual recognition of those 11 first-day MoPo members: Mahtab Moayeri, Michael Danese, Rob Ellis, Donna Tschetter, Goh Kai Shen, Evan Zweifel, George Nichol, Jeff Static (using AOL name Static555), Cindy Nemeth-Johannes, Adam Ehrlich, and myself. Michael, Rob and Evan are still with the group.

 

Our subscriber numbers aren’t what they once were, but I’ll take quality over quantity any day. 😊

 

Thanks again to American University for keeping the listserv up and running and thanks to all of you for being here.

 

Scott
MoPo List Owner
