Reply #364: 2002 -- from TAP and Table Talk [View All]

Some of the old cronies from those sites are here at DU. Stephanie, and Donna Zen, and Gabi Hayes, and Jim Sagle, and Fredda. When Table Talk (Salon) started charging for posting privileges, some people scattered. TAP (American Prospect) was one destination. Eventually that board was shut down, too.

One of my favorite nights here was the night that Will Pitt fought off a mugging with a can of Chef Boyardee. Oh, and his spat with Aaron Brown was interesting, too.

My first experience on a political site was when I first spied the phenomenon of chat, on AOL's ACLU chat called the Free Speech Zone, in the mid 90s. I know of two members of that ancient chat here at DU. Political Amazon (fairly new to DU) and Oeditpus Rex, my ol' pal.
