eerrrmmmmmm maybe Peter, but you have a lot to do with it ;-)
besides your contributions to it, it was also in some ways your idea - even if you didn't know it.
circa April 96 you wrote in S2M Newsletter #15 (which I came across on your web page, not being on S2M mailing list, not even being a TARS member) as part of your previous attempt to escape from your signalling duties:-
>>I will of course continue as TARS-Net Secretary, the 1st port of call for anyone
>>finding us on the Web. MAILING LISTS: Who knows about this feature of Email, and
>>can set one up for TARS-Net? I can't get anything useful on this subject out of the
>>local Computer Services people here. We should use a List Server of some kind for the
>>S2M distribution, and also we could have an openlist for newsgroup-style informal
>discussion [an idea for a alt.books.ransome newsgroup was insufficiently
>>supported to make it worthwhile].
Which set me to thinking and doing :-
>Try

>for an other alternative. It's a WWW forum/bulletin board type thingy
>I've just put up - let any other cyber tars know if you wish.
and here we are 12 hundred or so messages later. Glad to know you're virtually sticking around.
