Just the other day I went to a fellow fan's house who was my first real friend in fandom, twelve or thirteen years ago. (I came in in the fall of 1999 and still feel like a newbie).
Of course later that day I told the boy she'd been my first friend in fandom, back from when we were on mailing lists, remember those?, and he said, Hey, I'm still on three or four mailing lists. So, you know, a useful reminder that they're still there - just not where most of us are congregating at the moment, I guess.
