...or '30 Years On'.
I don't suppose anyone else will notice that afp is 30 today, but the
few of us who are left should mark the occasion.
I wasn't here for the beginning, only joining in the summer of 2001
(with my delurking post coming in the September or October of that
year), but the froup still had so many posts in a day that judicious use
of the 'Mark thread as read' function was the only way to keep up with it.
Now, we're lucky to get that many posts in a *year*. Egg tempera, o Maurice!
So here's to those who were seeming fixtures in the firmament of afp in
my time but who are no longer to be seen here (to name but a few): Lisa,
Dave (take your pick as to which one), Gary, Lesley, elfin & esmi,
Melody, Eric, Aelc, April, the Various Brians, Elin, Jon, Kimberley,
Leo, Marco & Orjan, Mary, Sanity, Sofia, Stacie, Sylvain, Kyle, Colette
and everyone else at the H.P. Lovecraft Holiday Fun Club.
(Some of these have moved on to what is sardonically referred to as
'social media', but as I don't to Fscksake, Tw@ter or Witsuck, I haven't
seen them for a long time).
To the few of us who are left like erratics on a glacial flood plain:
Paul, ppint. grizz, steveski, Lewis...
And here's to the memory of those who have passed to where it is
Eternally September: Antti, Carrie, Joy, Elliott, Mike, Rocky and of
course, the OFIAH, without whom...
Ah, Où sont les vampire threads d'antan?
