Out of curiosity, who on the list was involved at
this early stage? I saw a post from Iris Cohen from
sometime in 1995.
Anyone else?

I think I was lurking late in '95, talking in '96, and
have to say it made a lot of changes in the way I was
dispensing my time and money. I do think occasionally of
those days - of Dan and Hud and the Haikumatic, Phil,
Goeline, Sandy, Bonsaimura in Sweden and others occasionally
are recalled by some advice they gave that stayed with me. My
first convention was in l996, an ABS event.
Seems to me a surprising number of old-timers still here
really.
I wonder what all that proves - we love bonsai, we like
bonsai people, or have fallen into a habit.

Chris:

I can't find my own early postings, but I do have one on
file that I sent in mid-1996.
An enterprising soul could edit the archives into a quite
interesting, entertaining and educational book.
Lots of joy, tears, laughter, sorrow, as well as quips
and haiku, bonsai myths and bonsai facts, (the last two are
interchangeable,) and enough educational material to
warrant a degree for those who read through it all.
The contributors read like a who's who of international
bonsai.

I am privileged to be part of this group.
Now if only we could get a few Japanese and Chinese
bonsai enthusiasts to join us and share their perspectives
with us.

Cheers.

Marty:

You made me do it! My archives go back to May 1995.
I found a posting from June 1995, but I am certain that
I made a few before that.

If your archives go back further could you check for my
first one? You aroused my interest.

Cheers.

How the time passes. The earliest post that I saved dated back to 2/96. I
believe I started in late 1995.

Hi Peter. Hi Marty.

First, my apology to Marty for not catching his early posts. You posted frequently and thoughtfully! I think Marty was in NM at the time of early posts (the Albuquerque Club president, there) & I picked-up 'Marty & Patti' posts from Oregon when doing a q
uick-search.

Your first post, Peter, seems to be responding to a request to form the North American Viewing Stone Society on February 4, 1995 (I'll send it privately). Posting later the same month, I recall this thread while lurking on the rec.arts.bonsai newsgroup.
You were involved in a thread of 34 posts in July 1995 entitled "Internet Bonsai" that was a fascinating read for me because of the cast of respondents. It began when Marty Weiser responded to webmaster Dan Cwiertniewics: "I would vote for the internet g
roup (internet bonsai club - IBC?) continuing as a group that is separate from BCI and ABS..."

Here is how to find your own posts. First go to (I bookmarked this):
http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=e...c.arts.bonsai. This page includes latest posts and is searchable. Here, highlight the target button beside "search only in rec.arts.bonsai" and then request "Advanced Search" at the top of the
page.

If you changed providers or signed in with a different tag, you need to capture the correctly spelled name tag or URL address to find all your posts-- but most folks don't change these often. For example, JackSprat's posts couldn't be found searching for
the author "Jack Sprat"-- note there could be posts under each name as well as posts that only are linked by author under an email address... :-)

Under "Advanced Group Search," make sure "rec.arts.bonsai" is the only group searched. You will want to sort 'by date' rather than 'by relevance'. Then, throw in the search dates you are interested in covering. The rec.arts.bonsai list goes back to Apr
il 1993. A mail list and alt.bonsai newsgroup go back to as early as August 1992 but are not captured here.

Hope this helps.

Best wishes,
Chris

We have, though, lost some of that "community" feeling we used to
have. But then, the whole damned world has lost it too.

I agree. The IBC is a kinder gentler place now that the
frontier has bee
tamed. We went where no one had gone before and fell down a
lot.

What a great line! I love it!!! This made my day.

Thanks for this gem,

The only poster now reaching back to the beginning of the list
(April 1993)
is Kitsune Miko (formerly SandyV). Posting in May 1994, I
think you are
next oldest, Jim. It appears that Roger Case posted first in
September,
Iris in November & Nina in December 1994.

Rick Choate (rickbonsai from S'most Texas) thinks he was on and
posting a bit before me, maybe into 1993. He's still here, but
as a "digest" lurker and infrequent writer.
