[78-L] Newbie comment

[Robert Shirer]

Hi,
Welcome.  I've been on the list since shortly after its inception--with a 
few times out for sabbaticals--, and I continue to enjoy the expertise and 
wit of most of its members.  There is an information page about the list:
http://klickitat.78online.com/mailman/listinfo/78-l

and a link there for access to the archives:

The list was founded by Doug Elliot at Cornell University many years ago, 
mid-90s I believe (somebody might be able to be more precise), and after a 
few crises of host-servers and things beyond my non-technical imagination, 
Ron Fial, the current list owner and administrator, stepped in and rescued 
us.  Long may he prosper.

We go through phases, and lengthy threads, of solid musical, 
sound-technical, and discographical  information, and eventually some of the 
threads evolve (some huffily suggest degenerate) into lengthy pun wars, song 
title one-upsmanship, or just plain silliness.  I enjoy that; some members 
indulge in some annoyed tut-tuttery, and some very valuable members have 
left the fold.  So it goes.

Glad to have you aboard.  Hope you stay and contribute what you know, what 
you want to know and what your interests are.
Cheers,
Bob Shirer

I joined this list just a few weeks ago.
My main interest was to find some discography of old discs I found in my 
family archives.
Since, I have read most messages, resulting in great satisfaction and 
learning.
I want to congratulate all members of the list, is much more active of what 
I thought, been formal, most members have a notable sense of humor and a lot 
of expertise.
Keep it this way.
I have a few questions:
Is there an archive of messages? (For a newbie and to consult)
When the list started? (Maybe in a different form, like a "news group")
Who were the founders?
Regards...
