On (07 Oct 96) Tracy Molitor was mumbling to Tim Dill...
 TM> I'm here!  Did you know that this echo, along with SIP_AA was one of
 TM> the main reasons that I became a sysop?  
 No, but you may as well tell us the story... I need to add it to the
 history file that I have on hand... 
 
 TM>I don't have as much time to
 TM> read or post as I used to, but I still come here on a regular basis. 
 I poll for this practically every day, but I don't seem to have
 the time to post here as often as I like....
 TM> I think it's been almost 10 years that I've been reading this echo. 
 For me (a mear youngster) this coming November I will have been
 connected to this echo in one form or another for 3 years...
 This is the place where I jumped on a thread with Ben B. and Harriet L.
 called "parents" and was instantly hooked ;-) 
 Here I am three years later living on the east coast and enjoying it...
 TM> There've been times in my sobriety when this echo has gotten me
 TM> through a bad day, or a bad spell.  With the help of echos like this,
 TM> my HP and friends like you, I'm coming up on 13 years.
 Yeah, well I am a youngster coming up on 7 ;-)
 let's kick the conversations off, winter is coming... 
 (pffffft!)
 Tim....
... I'm not living in the past..just making payments on it. Tim D.
