I met someone tonight that was on AGF with me back in the mid 1990's. it has me wondering--were any of you on here back then, and will you be at C19?

Not so many left here at all, I think. Apparently it's going to get to
be Peter who gets to turn out the lights when he leaves. Anyway, I
started in early 97 I think, and will be at c19. Will you? AGFers are
also trying to get together some sort of reunion in Salem in the fall.

Some of us reappear here from time to time, so we're not _all_ gone...

That said though, the trolls really killed my excitement about reading a.g.
for awhile. And, yes, "killfile" needs to be fully deployed and maintained.
I just didn't do it. :(

It's just a really slow game of whack-a-mole.

Given the amount of traffic at all, a killfile hardly seems necessary. Seems
like the average is under two messages a day. Now.... if more people would
start posting interesting things....

It is, and one that I'm terrible at. I have the hammer and then don't
actually use it.

I can't be counted on for that! I just add more noise to the noise to
signal ratio. :)
