This listserv and Video Librarian, along with Roger Ebert's reviews, were fundamental in my career. And Jim Scholtz, if you are still out there, thanks for launching me in this great profession. Your book sits next to Gary's on my bookshelf to this day. I will be retiring at the end of February. What a long strange trip it's been. Happy trails.
