Uphill. In the Snow. Both Ways

A yahoo mail server glitch is forcing me to move 65,000 messages (3 years of email) in small groups to a new folder. As I wait for the endless scroll  to grab messages in batches, I thought I’d share with you the thoughts of a K/S fan from the year 1996.

“I agree that zines on line is basically a poor idea. I’m reminded of the late 1800’s, the magical new technology, electricity. They were so enamored of it they couldn’t stop making every gimmicky thing they could: bowties, etc. Also, just because we can do such a thing, it does not follow that we must. Too many of these conveniences are mainly just making our lives too speeded up for our own good.”

And to think I could have been moving 65,000 letters, one sheet of paper at a time, by candlelight instead. (links go to Fanlore, the fan run wiki)
