<<Thank you. Nice to see you're still hosting, Bill. I
was happy to see Mario's still around - his was the first
post I read, something about Dashiell Hammett not being the
first hard-boiled writer.>>
It's nice to see you back, Geir. I think I was here from the
beginning. I happened to see Bills advert in the former
mystery group rec.arts.mystery, back when Usenet still had
content. I think Bill saw a need for a specialized newsgroup
about hardboiled fiction, which was a marginal topic of
discussion in that group. He turned out to be right.
Now, what the hell did I say about Hammett? Just don't quote
me...
Best,
MrT
