No offense, but like most of us, I'm too busy to get sucked into other forums beyond tiny MoPo. I like the self-policing nature of everything. I still think I joined in late 1996 because that's when I was a journalist/consumer activist and I got into a public battle with Sotheby's over a repro quad of "A Hard Day's Night." But my first reference to MoPo in my journal doesn't turn up until early 1997 when I started an ugly thread entitled, "shyster dealers." I was WAY worse in those days. I wish I knew the exact date when I joined. Never did I think I'd still be hanging w/the usual suspects in 2012. Congrats, Scott!
P. S. - I agree with Zeev. My belated condolences to Jay Nemeth-Johannes about Cindy's passing. Because she didn't post a lot, I still thought she was lurking. I didn't know she was ill. The thought of her voice never returning to these boards makes me sad. -d. Date: Sat, 25 Feb 2012 08:19:42 -0500 From: lobb...@rogers.com Subject: Re: Our 17th Birthday!

Congratulations Scott, on keeping this going so long. I just wanted to add a note on Cindy Nemeth-Johannes and myself. Cindy was an occassional poster and a dedicated reader of this list until the time when her illness rendered her unable to concentrate on the screen. This was about 9 months before she passed away in June, 2008. I read this list over her shoulder since the start, and added myself recently. However, I mostly lurk these days.

Birthday Number 17! On February 24, 1995 the first MoPo post was distributed via American University’s listserv. For a few weeks prior to that date, the original MoPo members simply cc’d their e-mail messages to the other 11 people in the group. In keeping with my annual tradition, I’d like to recognize those 11: Mahtab Moayeri, Michael Danese, Rob Ellis, Donna Tschetter, Goh Kai Shen, Evan Zweifel, George Nichol, Cynthia Nemeth-Johannes, Adam Ehrlich, myself (your humble listowner) and AOL’er Static555—who for the first time I can finally identify as Jeff Static. For years I was unsure of Static555’s real name, but by digging through the early MoPo archives I finally stumbled upon his true identity. Michael, Rob and Evan are still members. Thanks to you all for keeping MoPo alive these 17 years even in the face of a lot of competition from those more graphically-enhanced discussion boards. Also a big thanks to American University for the use of their ever-reliable listserv system, a dinosaur that they continue to support. And thanks to the original 11 who got MoPo off to a fine start way back in 1995.
