It is pretty incredible the communities that come out of the woodwork for every imaginable little obscurity thanks to the web. I feel fortunate to be alive during a time when geography no longer separates like minds.

Also, I’m really digging your vision of flame wars via newsletter. :D I wonder if anyone ever angrily licked the back of an envelope to mail off rants about metal fan superiority over plastic…

I am always marveling at how the internet has made it 1000000% easier for people with super nichey niche interests to find and communicate with each other. Before the net, you’d have to what, learn about some newsletter via word of mouth?

I wonder if there were haters and flaming in the newsletter era of hobby/collecting communities, only in super snail mail slow motion? Or is instantaneous, unmediated communication a necessity for the emergence of those kind of behaviors?
