### I joined in August of 1998, having "discovered"
the Internet and surfing for something besides
work-related stuff. BOY were my eyes opened -- I'd
been nursing a serious AT jones since 1995, when I
figured out how cool and possible it would be to hike
the AT as a family foursome. We'd gotten all planned
to hike from I40 to Hot Springs when my at-l
membership went bad, so I rejoined in September, after
vaca, and posted a trip report. Joined atml to see
what the flap was about, posted only rarely, and then
quit with a post that likened atml to bad coffee in a
leanto: it stinks, but you want it, but it stinks,
but.... And then I quit.

### I've had to go nomail in at-ldom on a few
occasions (mostly by just going digest and then not
getting a chance to read) but been around pretty
steady since then, right?
