It was two years ago today (15 March) that SCREEN-L first toddled onto the nets. Since that time we've seen a host of stimulating discussions on diverse topics such as fan culture, media activism, and that hoary classic, realism. We've also seen reference questions answered and resources provided (as I can personally attest; when I was desperate to track down a DESIGNING WOMEN videotape, a SCREEN-Litarian shipped it to me post haste). And we've seen how folks with a common interest can >connect< over computer networks and help to sustain one another in a variety of ways. (Geez, am I already starting to get nostalgic and romanticize SCREEN-L? Ah well, what do you expect from a guy who wrote his dissertation on IMITATION OF LIFE, >both< versions?) We've accomplished this with a minimum of acrimonious flammage and just a few technological snafus. (Fortunately, SCREEN-L was rather small when a glitch in an Australian address sent 80 copies of the same error message to every subscriber. This was someone that I had added manually, which, incidently, explains why I always have folks add themselves now.) So, I'd like to take this opportunity to say thanks! Thanks to the professors, film/video makers, students, media librarians, and all the others intrigued/obsessed with film/TV that make up SCREEN-L's multi-faceted constituency. Without your participation this would be an empty enterprise. See you on the nets!
