Lineland Mention

[Will Layman]

It's not worth tracking down for a very simple reason: there is  
almost nothing in it that hadn't been published before either by  
Jules (the reprint of his "Thomas P Ran Off With My Girlfriend"  
article) or by Jules and the P-List (to be found in the archives).   
If you want to see the vaguely exploitive and vaguely "Ooooh My Wife  
Is Hot" photos of Jules' wife, well, then you better get it.

I continue to think that, despite Jules's obvious baiting of the  
list, it was an incredibly fun time to be participating in the list.   
The list was IT -- no wikis, no blogs, no other web sites to be  
referenced and linked to.  Whatever was written was actually written  
out and argued.  And while there were flame wars and petty squabbles  
a-plenty, something seemed more genuine in the collective conversation.

No doubt there is nostalgia at work on my memory, of course . . .
