   Still here? I'm kinda impressed...

   I was doing some research on a Commodore-related topic and happened to see   
   that comp.sys.cbm is still alive and still experiencing a trickle of traffic.   
      
   I remember giving up on Usenet (or Google Groups, if you prefer) a long time   
   ago, because the level of spam was unreal.   
      
   I was crazy active in this newsfroup in the 1990s. I used to maintain the   
   North American BBS list, and answer random GEOS questions. It was fun to see   
   my name is still in the FAQ, albeit tied to an email address that I lost   
   access to about eleventy    
   billion years ago.   
      
   The last thing I posted of any consequence was over 20 years back, and began   
   with, "Well, I've been spending a little time tidying up my disk archives. (A   
   painful process...I had *far* too many shoeboxes)"   
      
   Sadly, my life took me in unexpected directions. I still have too many   
   shoeboxes full of floppies. And now I also have bitrot. *sigh*   
      
   Anyway, aside from here, and the Lemon forums, where are the CBM   
   converstations happening these days? I've been away a long time, but nostalgia   
   bug is starting to bite, and I have unfinished projects to revisit...
