Trailer for Rangers on Discovery Channel

[JackB]

I loved B5 from the beginning, but I must admit....Londo's hair almost ran me away. I don't even think about it now, but at the time I thought the hair and accent were "cheesy". I'm glad I stuck with it. I love the Londo character now. The show would not have been the same without him.

When I went to reply to this, I noted the "eg" inside the angle brackets. Which doesn't even show up in the text. The board probably thinks it's an HTML tag.

Heck, emotions expressed with angle brackets surrounding letters predate HTML. We used to be able to express anything we wanted with those things, simply by adding letters and letting people figure them out from the context! Uphill both ways!

Probably. But are there any other people here who are truly evil enough to need them?

Don't worry. We've forgiven you...

Well, at least we haven't forgotten how to go totally off-topic...

Well, I just e-mailed Carolyn the url the other day, so maybe soon...

And G'Kar's Eye has potential.

Ah. That'll help.

Though with all these aliased people in here, you'd figure that there's got to be another former CIS person hiding here besides you and me and Andrew Swallow. (Hi Andrew. Long time no see...)

Hm. Which could explain how they've all learned to completely ignore me so quickly. That should've taken them longer. Unless you told them...

Hm. Yes.

Or perhaps we could get some of these people over there via NRF. For training.

I was using CIS in the early nineties. At the time, I was in late junior high, and obsessed to death with TNG. CIS was responsible for the fact that I'm a writer, actually, but that's another story for another time.

I had no idea who JMS was at the time, let alone a show called "Babylon 5" or even you folks, though.

Hi Martin Roth. I do not go to CIS very oftern because I find CIS does not work very well from dial up AOL.

Wow. Long time ago. Was that during the era of the DSPSG's?

OK. I'll listen whenever you're ready to tell it...

Yeah, it was pretty obscure back then. For a long time, B5 didn't even have its own separate section...

Well, of course not. They can't make it easy. They're only the same company and everything

DSPSG's? I'm not familiar with that. I remember using a local BBS constantly, and CIS - but the World Wide Web was still quite young and at school we were told to use Kermit, Archie, and Veronica through VAX/UNIX, had no pictorial interface, etc., etc. In HS I made my first websites (the horrible results are still visible - GAK - because I've lost the usernames and passwords to the systems I used way back when).

Anyway, on CIS I hung out in the Star Trek forum, where I met a dude as obsessed as I was. He was my age, and writing a Star Trek spec script. I gave him some pointers and ideas, he invited me to join in, and three years later in sophomore year of high school we submitted a spec script to Star Trek: Voyager (it used Kes and time travel). It wasn't too bad a script, comparatively, though it was rejected (duh, obviously). But it was too late. The damage had been done. What was previously a hobby had now become a full-fledged passion, and now I write for a living.

Now, if I could just get back to fiction. *grin*

You asked.

It was a group of Compuserve ST people with a particular "interest" in common, which they managed to introduce into just about any ST-related discussion for a period of time. Stood for "Disgusting Slobbering Patrick Stewart Groupies". (And I can't believe I actually remember that. [shaking head]) It was an interesting group...

Sounds terrible.

Yep. And you didn't even make me regret it.

Oooh. Writing. The dirtiest occupation available.

Well, Channe, if you feel you have to write, just remember Robert Heinlein's advice:

Do it in private and be sure to wash your hands afterwards.
