I guess I joined around 2001 or so. I was already acquainted with Udhay via the Linux community, but it was Jace (Kiran Jonnalagadda) who told me about Silk and suggested I join. This was around peak mailing list and it seemed interesting so I requested to join. Silk was young and vigorous then -- very unlike it's current somnolent old age. I remember many near-flame wars and the occasional surreal post. I was pretty engaged in those days, but as email as a medium dies a long, gory, death I have become more of a lurker -- as has pretty much everyone else on the list. Still, of the 30-odd mailing lists I was a subscriber to at the time I joined this is the only survivor -- which says something about the value I place on it. I have made many good friends via this list including several I have yet to meet IRL.
