Fire Shelby memories....

No thanks. Way too painful.

I think it is noteworthy that one of the first people to post on the FS board (besides FS, of course) was Flash Gordon, who remains a regular contributor today.

It really is a question of whether you prefer the old bad old days or the new bad old days.

At least those limericks and Judge Cooley are preserved for posterity.

Thanks Fire Shelby!

I've wandered through the old FS MB, and I am now convinced we could collectively start our own Psychic Network - even on that first page through various dates in March, the future is told, we get out first Kenbot warning, and the humor and eloquence and frustration are compelling. I will continue to revisit as I gather my own necessary notes and regained sanity. Fire Shelby re-energized me when I needed it the most. It exposed all of SFT's isolationist moves and got me back in touch with colleagues and students that I had truly missed. My contacts at Vanity Fair show some interest - I will continue to press the issue.

THANKS FIRE SHELBY. NO QUARTER!

If a bestseller comes out of all this, it could be the worst nightmare for those who thought they were securely in power.

I'm having trouble googling that Hamlet quote about it better to have a poor epitaph when you die than to lose writers' (well, okay, actors') good will. I wish someone would post it.

Ham. Tis well, Ile haue thee speake out the rest of this soone, Good my lord will you see the players well bestowed; doe you heare, let them be well vsed, for they are the abstract and breefe Chronicles of the time; after your death you were better haue a bad Epitaph then their ill report while you liue.

Hamlet, Act 2, Scene 2
