I found Susan's Place back in the early to mid 90's. I know it was towards the end of the family production stage. Last child was born 1991. Would have had 200-300 members. Lots of information, most of which is still here (at least last time I looked) yet not much happening in the GCS department, non were there many aspiring applicants.
The information was sufficient for me to realise there must be another compromise, because the effort required and the lack of local support meant it wasn't going to happen. So I exchanged lurking for compromise seeking. That didn't work either. One compromise just lead to an even greater compromise, until I ran out of them.
Late 2010, while scavenging software off an old disused server, I found an old Favourite file of mine. Looked through it and low and behold Susan's Place popped up. I tried it to see if it still worked and "wollar" up it came. Forgot about it for a few months due to work then had this burning desire to return. Lurked for a week or two and plucked up the courage to join. I knew then, that would be the start of something BIG.
So Devlyn. Do I win the apple 3.414 ? Oh pretty please?? Early 90's and all. Go on you big ............. I'll throw coffee in your damned harbour (or myself). Oh pretty pretty please an apple 3.414 PLEASE!!!??
