The newsgroup has been around for a long time, since 1994, way before my time in cyberspace. It was started by Wayne Francis, the owner of
http://www.lightfoot.ca , but Wayne no longer participates, as do few of the old timers. I don't know if they are just burned out or what. It's always bothered me that they can no longer take the time to stop in and say hello.
We goof off a lot on aml, but mostly because many of us have met. I'm sure it probably drives away some of the newer members, as they feel they aren't part of the club.
I enjoy both groups, but I've always felt very comfortable here, and enjoy the interaction with completely new fans who have just discovered Gord.
