Subject: [MOPO] 15 Years!
The "Victorian House" of movie poster discussion groups (as Rich H.
described MoPo earlier this week) is 15 years old today!
The first MoPo message was distributed via the American University
listserv on February 24, 1995. There had been a brief period prior to that
when the first MoPo members simply copied their posts to each of the 11
members. Adam Ehrlich was a student at AU at the time and was able to
secure a spot on their listserv and an automated MoPo began! I'm thankful
we're still able to use AU's listserv all these years later.
We may not have all the modern bells and whistles like some of the
"younger" discussion groups, but what we have still works...old school it
may be. I credit all of you, our loyal members, for that! Thank you for
being here and sticking with it.
As I do every year, I want to recognize MoPo's first members...those
people here at the very beginning:
Mahtab Moayeri, Michael Danese, Rob Ellis, Donna Tschetter, Goh Kai Shen,
Evan Zweifel, George Nichol, Cynthia Nemeth-Johannes, Adam Ehrlich,
Static555 (thanks to the AOL e-mail system Mr.Static's true identity is
forever lost) AND myself.
Michael, Rob, and Evan are still MoPo members.
I find it interesting that when there's conflict between those "other"
poster forums, the debate often takes place on MoPo...case in point the
"interesting" discussion between MPF and APF that occurred earlier this
week. Perhaps I should take this as a compliment...after all MoPo is known
for fairness, free speech and (most of the time) civility. The respect
MoPo has achieved as the "granddaddy" of movie poster discussion groups is
because of each and every one of YOU!
Thanks for another great year.
