  Just curious if anyone here ever used this old usenet newsgroup. When I first got a computer and had access to the Internet in the spring of 1994, this was the place to go for garage (and related punk/rock'n'roll, noise, & trash) discussions, at least outside of AOL, which at that time was like the Facebook of the Web. AOL had what they called discussion folders (I think), and I remember setting up a couple... like The Green Door and Primitive Garage Rock'n'Roll. It was somewhere around this time that I also discovered the late, great Bomp List.
  
  Ah, the old days... haha.

  I don't have one anywhere any longer. They were simple Avery mailing labels ran through a copier.

  I remember meeting you at TrebleFest '96 in Denver, too! So, do you still have any of those stickers? It'd be cool to scan one and post it here.

  I didn't figure many people would remember it, although it (banana-truffle) was pretty active back in the day. I wonder where a lot of those folks went.
