II have been a member of PACS-L since we just had BITNet. I think that is
close to ten years. One of the first experiences I had was when I first
announced the availability of Not Just Cows as a plain text file and asked
for input on making it more widely accessible. One person flamed me very
badly and accused me of spamming and violating the culture of the Internet.
Everyone came to my defense and said I had done the right thing. I knew
then what a great community PACS-L was.
