   I'll have to read it, as one who had been on net.startrek at least since   
   1984, if I remember correctly.  Tim's reviews were well-written and a   
   resource I went back to for years. I remember when he quit doing Voyager   
   reviews (and I wish he had done a few "Enterprise" reviews for old-times   
   sake...)   
      
   In that vein, I remember Jerry Boyajian's (the Mad Armenian) and Jeff   
   (Moriarty) Meyers's comics reviews on net.comics and rec.arts.comics in   
   the 1980s.  It was a time of a new age in comics with Watchmen and   
   Crisis and others, and a golden age of comics reviewing.   
      
   There is a Ph.D. dissertation in those old Usenet discussions.   
      
   Sigh :-).
