Silk started off by us forcibly subscribing people we knew in the real
world. To that extent, its origins were in the comfort zone. More
often than not, in the flaky days of the Internet in India, the
posting would be followed up by a call to the person to check if the
message had got through. And then the postings for the day would be
discussed in person over copious quantities of beer.
And most of us already had interacted on a couple of BBS'es in
Bangalore. Don't you think some of us knew each other as a result of
interacting on CiX and then on Silk?
IMO, Silk is a carefully chosen, yes chosen, network that holds
tremendous potential. :-) I enjoy Silk and its evolution. Let me get
back to lurking for a while now...
