[AT] How had the group changed

[DonThiel]

I've been around since sometime in the 90s/Forsyth County also. Changed 
ISPs, well, actually, my local phone coop has always been my ISP, but 
they've changed names as technology (and downstream providers) have changed.

I have always enjoyed the light conversation from many very intelligent 
folks, most of which have more information than I, so I normally just 
sit back and 'listen'.    Since I am in ND, which tends to be chilly 
this time of year, I am personally glad that Ralph takes all the grief 
for cold weather. Thanks, Ralph!  :-)

I recall the hammer handle thread, but not the actual educational 
post.   How about that rerun, Farmer?
