A few months, but I used to be a regular years ago. I stopped for a while due to selling my last Mustang.

I also was one of the 300 people that voted this group into existance in the mid 90s.

Are there any others still here from the original 300?

I remember manually creating the group on the news server at the ISP I ran at the time. It took a while for our upstream feed to carry the group, but a couple of us were posting messages locally for a few weeks. During the voting process there were even a few curmudgeons who voted no because they didn't want to "fragment" the Ford owners. heh....

Cheers,

Sorry. I just lurk. I'm afraid to post, for fear of having my email address sucked up by the spammers. And you just never know who's out there...

I read the newsgroup when I'm depressed, to cheer myself up. I read the newsgroup when I'm bored, looking for a little fun. I read when I'm happy, hoping to share the good feelings. I read when my car breaks down, knowing that many here will know how I feel.

The one exception was after 9/11. For some reason, I couldn't bring myself back to the community for days on end. My perspectives were all screwed up. Mustangs, even football, seemed so irrelevant at the time. But RAMFM is nothing more or less than a microcosm of humanity in general, and there are a lot of good people here. It's a good "place" to be.

Only about half an hour. So far.

I'm not an original thinker. I'm a reactionary.

Going on.... at least 3 years now... :-)

Since I didn't get my Mustang when I was car shopping... I really don't have too much to contribute... I wish I did though.

Pretty much daily. Sometimes more, sometimes less.

Too long to actually remember; I think around 6 or 7 years.

A few things here and there, but I consider myself one of the groups proud cynics. At best, I try to contribute controversy. Guess I'm a troll...

Thunder Alley

This (or any) newsgroup isn't so serious that I have 'sad memories'.

It's a tie between some of the Thunder Alleys and dwight's foray into alt.troll.

I'd love to see CJ and some guys from AHPBBFM stir it up in here more often.

Absolutely not

Sometimes. But the 'What color should I paint my racing stripes?' threads are pretty lame. Almost Martha Stewart-ish...

Most definitely. And that's good.

And I'll add two more: Q: Who are your favorite RAMFM personalities? A: In no particular order, Michael Johnson, Patrick, dwight, Tim (Musttanguy)

Q: Who do you miss most from RAMFM? A: Again, in no particular order, CJ, Mike P., Steve E.

BTW, very interesting post, Patrick.

So, since no one else has ask, what is the purpose of this little gem there Patrick?

I'm inclined to agree with this one. Bill S can be pretty dry, but he knows his cars and was always willing to share that knowledge.

if there were only a way. Really, RAMFM is just right in my mind. It gets sideways sometimes but that's life.

absolutely not.

Like the Stones, it ROCKS!

You'll have to try harder than that John!

I like 98% of the guys in here, we have had some interesting people come and go though. Some more than others but I ain't naming names.

Who were you happiest/most relieved to see leave RAMFM?
