Steph,

It is only with the advent of the internet, and more importantly, the World Wide Web, that a community such as this can exist.

We could not have exchanged letters to each other, for we would have had to send letters to everyone; that’s not only impractical, but most members don’t involve themselves with most threads. We could not have afforded it anyway. All of the spontaneity would be lost over the days between messages, and there could not be the simultaneousness through the post that is a given through posting.

Your location is Toronto. Mine is Maryland. Oldfart’s is Australia. Lilith’s is South of Hell …but I digress.

This community couldn’t have come to pass 20 years ago.
