Were you a T-Roadie?

I think I was there toward 1998. If I recall well I discovered "neck-and-neck" site then runned by Thomas Gygax that linked me to TR. I was an

I joined in 2004, sometime before Shangri-La was released. Unfortunately, the list lost popularity
as new forms of internet communication became popular.

Cool! Knopfler always looks a bit 'soft' in the Goldern Heart era.  

I love some of the last messages on the Guestbook... "Don't drive the Motorbike next time...."

I was a Telegraph Roadie. I don't recall what year I joined, but Frosty was still running the list then.

[IrisRose]

I know it was still going in 2005, but notifications were becoming very rare.    I was a member, or on the mailing list,   but I rarely posted.   First MK associated friends came from that mailing list.    My first first bootleg trade came from that list.   

[nababo]

I was there too. As in here, I was an occasional poster. But I remember the I have read many great discussions and very useful information, specially to me, a Brazilian folk far from the usual MK's habitat. I remember some guys like Jeroen, despite not being a hard poster, Tomas and Thomas, many guys from Spain (who also were in Spanish City mailing list) and a guy named Victor, from Portugal, who used to have a very fine and ironic way of discussing subjects. Are they here by the way?

I never posted on T-Road, neither on Mk news, but I read both regularly

[Waterline Man]

I remember getting back into MK music around the late 90's & I never posted on TRoad as it was on its last legs at that stage,the first site that I posted on was MK News which was the bee's knees at the time - how things change Most people are over here now though except for a few die hards.

[Best Brown Baggies]

I used to read the T-road emails, but only in its latter stages of existence.
I think I may have contributed to it a few times, but my memory fails me.

I joined in 2000 or 2001, don't think I used a nickname. But my dad's email adress  There were some lively discussions on TR, I especially remember the "Do basses have feelings" debate after the Pyrobass incident. Those were great times, met some great people on this list. And if it hadn't been for TR, I 'd probably never met MK!

[Pottel]

for the record: never been a member.

[vgonis]

I kind of liked the basic style of TR. There was a time, in 2004, when I became more involved, posted some reviews and opinions about Shangri-LA. I was thrilled when I saw that I had mail from TR and I met the first 2-3 collectors that gave me a view of what recordings are out there, and got some as well.Must have been reading since my first dial-up connection in 1998?

[Marijn]

I was there from 1995 onwards. First it was organized by a US fan, later on by Tomas Molin (www.knopfler.net).
I guess there was a pretty solid fan base from the early days of DS till around 1996, when MK started his solo work.
So many fans lost interest and kind of disappeared...   I guess the TR mailing list was suppose to die when it did.
Message boards are way more easy to maintain and offer more possibilities.
