   I'm sure he thought it was also. IIRC, he was either on the echo when I   
   joined in late January, 1994 or joined shortly afterwards. There isn't   
   nearly the traffic here that there was back then, a number of folks have   
   passed away and a lot more quit the echo for the internet. It was always   
   fun when we had the chance to meet other members--get to put faces   
   behind the posters and get to know them better, on a more personal   
   level. We met up with Nancy Backus a number of times since she lived in   
   Rochester, NY, not too far from where Steve grew up. We still, from time   
   to time when we're in the area, go to the sushi place she introduced us   
   to.
