  Genesis: "This Just In" - Comments

I can't help but wonder how many of those initial 50 people, most of whom did not subscribe right away and some of whom actually requested to be deleted, have since subscribed and are now enjoying it with the rest of us.

Wow - Singapore :) I didn't know we were so wired even back then!

I just finished reading all of the blast-from-the-past retroactive blog posts, and as I read each one I thought to myself, "Hey, I remember that!" and "I remember when that happened!"

It's entirely possible that I was not one of Randy's first subscribers -- not one of the original 50 subscribers, but somewhere in the first few hundred. In fact, I may have subscribed to TJI after a personal (email) invitation from Randy himself.

Well, that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Congratulations on more than a decade of success, Randy, and may you have a run at least as long as Herb Caen and Art Buchwald.
