Were you a T-Roadie?

[Jules]

If you were a member of the old Telegraph Road Mailing List, just raise your hand and say Hi!!!

Many of us were there, its time to find old friends, invite others if you want!

[Dutchessy]

Only a reader in the last (year(s)), not a poster.

Hi! I was a T-roadie from the early beginning. I went by the name Michiel.

[ds1984]

Hi (I was there under a different nickname)

[vgonis]

I was there too, but received no mail, yet. My first contact with organized fans. I really don't remember the nick name I was using.

Also only a reader at the end, I think I posted maybe once or twice. Don't remember nickname

I was a T-Roadie and even before that I was subscribed to Dire-Straits@merrimack.edu mailing list. More or less since 1992.

[border_reiver]

YES!

Since 1996. Nick was Almen.

I used to have the Dire Straits Real Audio Archive website with 30 sec clips from all the albums!  


(Btw, I'm still very good friend with (nick) BiA who had a killer website with the picture of the Brothers in arms cover with MK signature and state of the art 90's Photoshop flare  )

I was reading (since 1999 - when did it actually end? I remember Tomas Molin writing that he fell asleep in a train during the first listen of Shangri-La, did it really run until 2004? Or am I mistaken and he said it at another place? Or did anybody else say it??  )

I never posted (I think), but really, I can hardly remember anything apart from very bad discussions (political stuff?) and spam posts at the bitter end?

Would be nice to read some of the last threads again (or maybe not), just to remember things a little bit. I was very late with internet connection in my personal life (1999, when I was 28!). The first thing I searched for was (not S E X ) but MARK KNOPFLER and the first hit I had was information about STP coming out soon - I really went crazy - after all those years... And very soon after that (days later) I found TR mailing list. I was more searching through TM's site because I used it as some kind of archive and was wondering how many great live recordings did exist... Those were the times my fandom got reactivated, after a longer break from 1996....

That can't be true.   Shangri-La is so full of energy. 
Now everybody is aware : please make sure you're not in a train, you don't drive and you have a few liters of coffee ready when you'll get your copy of  Privateering.

Yup, first thing I did when I went to uni in 96 and got internet access was join.  I don't remember there being nicknames - it was just emails wasn't it?

It was still going in 02, as I went to Shepherds Bush with Hazel from Newcastle's son.

[lfblaauw]

I've been on T-road since 1995.  Didn't use a nickname.

I joined in '97 I think just after I joined uni and got internet access, a la Dusty.  Only a reader, not a poster.

I remember there were two different versions.  I got the digest version.

I only recall it running up to 2002 but I may be wrong.

I was on T-Road didn't post much and I don't remember my Nickname anymore. Think I was there from 1995 - 1996 when internet came to our house.

[ds1984]

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 occasionnal poster and don't remember so much trouble.
