Wow, 15 years have gone by! I guess I'm an old-timer, but it seems like I was late to the game. The first time I heard Happy I was unimpressed (foolish me!), so it took awhile to get to the second listen. Fortunately I made it, and joined in late 1991 or 1992. I've grown up with this list (from age 20 to *cough* my current age), and count the time spent with various list members amongst my fondest memories. Congratulations to everyone on making it to 15!

I joined in 1993 and have been here ever since, except for brief periods of unsubbing while I've been traveling & unable to check my email regularly. How great that so many old-timers are still around, AND we're still getting new members -- that's the mark of a vibrant community.

Thank you woj for posting the early archives URLs. I've been reading them and having nostalgia fits (aka crying jags). Oh it was all so wonderful, even with the nasty flame war in gaffa, because if not for that, ecto wouldn't exist. I still can't express how amazing and fantastic it was to hear other people saying nice things about Happy. I still love hearing it but back then, when I'd been a very lonely Happy fan for 2+ years, it was awe-inspiring. It's boggling how *enthusiastic* and chatty I was back then! No wonder Drukman thought I was a giddy teenager. :) - --- wojbearpig wrote: > one time at band camp, neal copperman (neal@swcp.com) said: > > >Can someone post the original membership list? Not the very first post (there were a couple of other experimental posts) but here is the first *official* post from our dear Jessica, before ecto was ecto: ============= Date: Thu, 13 Jun 91 14:58:06 EDT From: jessica@cs.rutgers.edu Message-Id: <9106131858.AA11040@athos.rutgers.edu> To: ectoplasm@cs.rutgers.edu Subject: Tada! (I hope :) Ok, here's my first experimental posting to this list. Vickie suggested ecto, but a bit late i'm afraid, it's already been called "ectoplasm" but at least that's pretty close! So our address is "ectoplasm@athos.rutgers.edu" and for signing up, etc, there is ectoplasm-request@athos.rutgers.edu I'll put *something* of possible interest in this posting, in case anyone doesn't already know. I've made a lyrics sheet for Rhodes Volume 1. It's on athos.rutgers.edu in ~ftp/pub/hr/Rhodes.Volume.1.ps. I managed to fit both sides onto one page, *but* you probably shoudn't just cut out the outline and fild it in half - at least on our laserprinters, the black printing of the line down the middle cracks and comes right off in little flecks, very messy. So i'd suggest cutting it down the middle too, it shouldn't make much difference as you'll glue it together anyway. :) Lyrics sheets for the other three tapes will be coming.. RSN :) So anyway, welcome to the list! so far, we are: myself, Dave Steiner, Joseph Dembski, Jeff Burka, David N. Blank, art, Mitch Pravatiner, woj, Jeff Abbott, Albert Philipsen, Laura Clifford, Vickie, J*rn Barg er, and hargie@chinet.chi.il.us (feel free to send me your name, if you want :) jessica ============= Kiri (hargie@, still on the list though a lurker), Jessica (who comes and goes), Jeff Burka, woj, Laura and myself are, as far as I know, the only ones still on the list from that original list. Joseph and J*rn are totally out of the picture. I haven't seen posts from any of the others for awhile. I just talked to Mitch Pravatiner on the phone. He has no net access nowadays and wanted me to pass along his birthday wishes, and good tidings to all Ectophiles, old and new. It's funny, Chris and I were offline when the list started. We were continually getting our phone turned off and hadn't yet gotten the money together to get it turned back on. It was the worst possible time to be offline and it drove me crazy. I was relaying messages through J*rn over the phone, and going over to his house to post long messages I'd written up weeks earlier, many of them slated for rec.music.gaffa/Love-Hounds before the dramatic flame war. My maternal grandmother had died a few months before all this, and when her estate was taken care of, it turned out she left me a bit of money, which we used to get the phone turned back on.
