How do I tell when I joined? LOL This thread got me to thinking about when and how I joined. I know that I was an active participant on a model building bulletin board on Prodigy. I got really into the web in '91 when I switched jobs and had essentially uncontrolled internet access. I had a direct modem line and essentially no supervision. LOL There was no one to know or care how much time I spent on line. When I was able to get connected to the net through the county server, I no longer needed the Prodigy dial up there and I was able to get better access at home with my cable provider. There was no reason to continue to pay for Prodigy so I dropped it. I suspect that may have been about the time I found Joe's. I have participated on a few other boards and have actually tried to assist a couple of start up boards but most have gone by the wayside. While I may visit other sites occasionally, today my time is spent here and on HWC. gunslinger gary wilcox
