i only go camping in Autumn where
the weather is so nice out there
the fire burns bright
the stars twinkle like they're blinking with delight
i always lose my way and am constantly getting lost
so i listen into my heart and just lie down on the moss
there's that random rhythm in nature's welcome
i feel at home and okay out there with Autumn

I'm not sure anymore, Terry. I think I was looking for stuff on the Bront� sisters, and sort of stumbled upon it. Most people probably get here like that - I don't know. You and Wer have been here since the beginning, right? And remember to ask Mike when he comes back - he told me on the phone once that he's not been here for that much longer than me. I'll try and give him a buzz this weekend, but I think he's on holiday somewhere.
I presume all the people who log in will have the address on their home pages as well?

If you want the history, you can hit the archives. For example, take a look at the stuff in genx from our archives. You can still view the original conferencing system, or I should more accurately, say the predecessor to the original operating system.
We started out with a homegrown system that Ben Cohen wrote. The we went to caucus telnet only. Then we found out about yapp and used a telnet version that we got some help from Jan Wolter on, then we finally settled on Kaylene and Dave Thalers yapp interface.
Through all these interfaces there have been differnet folks. In this context, wer is a relative newcomer. I recently got an email from Ben Cohen who is fascinated by our archives and reads stuff he wrote years ago.
Either wer or I can post a link to the arvhices if you want to dig through our early history.
It's in http://www.spring.net/~dbii
which is Dave Bluesteins' directory.
This is cool, I typing this while I watch the Cubs game and I have a little window with the game and I have our web interface full screen. It's WebTV version II. hu poto dream, heh.
Who, here knows the search engine that igs up your link???
Sports used to be a hot conference. And genx once was torrid. The porch conference used to be called gat.

wer, create a new conference. Call it 'inner'. Make it member only. And
put your best friends here on the member list. And then test it to make
sure it works. ok?

WER wasn't around the Spring when I was still logging in from Austin but when I came back in Fall of 1997, he'd been around for awhile...
(just sitting here reflecting Paul... about logging in covertly at MagneticBunny through the Telnet prompt you made an icon for on my desktop... no wonder it took me so long to get all of that ISO 9000 documentation written!)

Cool deal. I think at some point it would be good to have a private,
userlist only, "inner" sanctum conference for the regulars here. One
where we could get more down and dirty on a more intimate level. Just an
idea. Sorry if I phrased that in a pushy way, wer.

When they conferred it to me, they stuck it on my right hand.
They used these long thick steel pins and barb wire.
I'm write-handed, so I couldn't write again for 38 years.
The healing was as long as what it took for me to come across you.
Have you noticed this kinda thing very much in your life?
The miraculous effect you have on badly injured Boy Scouts?
Autumn, could you take a moment to be real frank with me for
a second and answer this one last question I somehow have for you:
are you some sort of goddess?
It's okay if ya aren't.
If you are, I mean, I know, it's pretty wowsy.

But your miracles are of the highest order.

Talk about stuff that you only want to share with our immediate group.
Any new members only admitted by 100% approval of the group that's there.
It looks like wer may have created it. This is what's known as a
"private" conference.
