Many thanks to Matthew Caulfield for remembering MMD's 25th anniversary.
It seems almost magical that 25 years ago, Jody and I found one another
on the 'Net.  Together we agreed to start up a discussion group for
like-minded people.

We both had resources, he with Foxtail and I was on the Board of the
brand new Winnipeg Freenet.  Jody's foresight to use his Foxtail.com
internet domain proved vital, as a year later the Freenet evaporated.

I am ever so grateful that Jody has persevered over the years and kept
MMD functioning reliably, but also nourishing it into a first class
resource.  He is to be commended and I extend my most sincere
appreciation for his dedication, counsel and guidance.

Regards and best wishes for another 25 years!

 [ Terry, thank you for the pat on the back.  It's been a lot of fun
 [ and very interesting, and I've made a lot of friends along the way.

 [ Thank you for suggesting that I set up the mailing list when we first
 [ met online and for seeding the list with names of interested people.
 [ I'm so glad that Robbie became interested and has become the
 [ day-to-day editor for more years that I can remember.   Matthew
 [ Caulfield has also helped by critiquing articles, doing research,
 [ and editing.  A big "Thank You" to Bob Fitterman who wrote the
 [ software that indexes the MMD articles and generates the Archives
 [ section of the website.  He wrote that software for us in 1997
 [ when I requested a volunteer to help because the search engine of
 [ the day -- Alta Vista, was very good but only indexed about 1/3 of
 [ the website because there were already too many articles than
 [ it could manage. Thanks everyone for participating!  --Jody
