Questionz
I haven't started using a newsreader yet, but using the Google daily
digest is a royal pain, so maybe I should. I expect things to settle down midweek and I can install the one Cory recommended. Julie My opinion (anyone else's opinion is welcome!) is that the biggest reason that Usenet activity has been going down is the increasing popularity of web-based message boards. I think Usenet is seen as a bit "geeky" or too technical. It also requires learning how to use a newsreader. Also seehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternal_September. Adam |

Questionz
Guess I better say hello too. To everybody. We started meowing 10 years ago,
in 1997. For a while we were an active part of the rpcc community, but as so often happens real life got in the way. The ones who meowed (and those who sometimes woofed) have gone to the Bridge now, except for Byron who was a mere kitten in 1997. Arvid, the grumpy blue kitty went and Thuse, the Elkhound who loved kitties. Two years ago Birte, also a kitty lover and our angel Elkie went much too early after a nasty illness. And last year the BIG black SHY cat Duncan became too tired, followed by our icon and the most talkative of the bunch, our wise Pandai. One day we will meet again... Only Byron remembers and Runa (the surviving Elkie) knows a little too. About how this community was a haven of warmth and support. Many a friendship was made through rpcc. Everybody who meant well was always welcome and so it should always be. There is so much sorrow and pain in this world that it is good to find a place where one can be whatever one wants to be. Where kitties rule and meow, but hoomins are always welcome too. As are d*ggies and other critters. I sincerely hope rpcc will always stay that way, whether with "old-timers" or new(er) kitties and their families! Be silly and forget life's difficulties for a moment. Who knows, maybe Byron will talk his new brothers Ginger (who's 5 years old already, time flies!) and Giovanni into being part of a new adventure one day. But even if that's not to be, we will always purr for those who need purrs and Runa will send her "Howls-frum-Howland" for as long as she can! Ann with Byron, Ginger, Giovanni and Runa "fuzzmonsters" wrote in message ... First of, hello to all the old friends here and also to the new ones. My first ever online experience was r.p.c. Shadrach 'meowed', Newton answered and the rest is history. Speaking on a personal note, I have not been back to r.p.c.c. on a regular basis for several years. My kitties show up for the Ball but life intervenes and I have enough to do just keeping up with email, let alone the volume of posts the newsgroup would spawn. I also found that buying a house takes up what little free time one might have. I have missed r.p.c.c but have kept up with most of the "old-timers" via email. That's rather sad. Many of us invested a lot of time, effort and even tears trying to get the group *we* wanted instead of the one the PTB and some non-meowers thought we should be happy with. I think in my case it was just such an emotional investment that I was totally spent when it finally happened and it had the effect of taking a lot of the fun out of it for me. That was not fair to the group or to the other members who have remained faithful posters and I apologize. Shadrach & Jezebel are waiting for me at the Bridge, but Jessica & Ezekiel are currently making my life interesting and I think could probably wreak some havoc around here. Radonna, aka mb, and the fuzzmonsters My personal favorite among the suggested names was "clowder", but a high poohbah news.groupie vetoed it because he didn't know what it meant. Since a split was inevitable by that point (many meowers really didn't want the split at all), "community" was the best compromise arrived at and approved. And that's the Cliff Notes version of how we got here. :-) Melissa |

Questionz
This thread brings tears to my eyes - good tears at seeing so many old
friends back, and tears that new friends are so eager to learn and carry on the traditions of rpcc. And a few tears of frustration at the thought that unfeeling things are still being said behind the scenes. Hisspitt! I started posting after the split, so didn't get burned in the flame wars, but I certainly was very aware of what had gone on. Why did we stop posting? It wasn't a conscious decision, certainly, but life seemed to start intruding more and more. I don't really have time to post from work, and I use my computer less and less at home (again, life intrudes). Certainly the loss of 4 of my 7 furkids over the years (3 in the last 4 years) contributed to a loss of heart for a time. Even when I come back, I find my good intentions to continue to post going by the wayside - witness the fact that I didn't even get the tribute to Baby in for the Jellicle Ball. Add to that the fact that so many who were active at the time my cats started posting are gone, for one reason or another, and it was easier to drift off. I still love to read from time to time, and always hold out the hope that we can come back and start posting again, but time will tell. Anti Joan, fur herownself and Cookie, Cinni, and Bitsy (with a loving nod to the Rainbow Bridge Kitties from the Howse of Koster: Munchkin, Junior, Poppacat and Baby) |
