>Those were the days when it cost $ to post so you really had to want to participate and there was nothing contrived about it. I'm sure you recall the likes of Lisa Slater and Dr Dave chatting cheerfully to all comers. Later on, other people and vendors thought they could invent their own community to rival this, but when you cut out the voluntary organic growth and replace it with something calculated, the joy goes out if it. Seems to me that a lot of groups these days are characterized by the schoolyard taunt rather than humble luminaries knowing that they have two eyes and two ears as well as a mouth...

FWIW, I don't remember Dr. Dave showing up in the FoxForum, but that's where most of the luminaries of the community got known. I always credit FoxForum for starting my writing career.

And, of course, the UT was the first serious rival to CompuServe for the Fox community. I remember meeting Michel at DevCon when he was not much more than a kid.
