A little Ghost History:

The Original USRX thread (we were making serious bucks back then) (Sal Habash):
Communications: USRX - Nov 6 1995
techstocks.com [18013]

The Original 3Com thread (Amir Desai):
Communications: 3Com - Jul 15 1996
Subject 6649 [15283+]

The first News Only thread (Mike Burry):
Communications: USRX News -- Just the Facts - Nov 10 1996
Subject 9825 [1049]

The first Clubhouse at SI, on none other than the USRX thread (Brad Dryer):
USRX Clubhouse - Feb 13 1997
techstocks.com [532]

Clubhouse fizzles, so Paul starts the fist thread with a "Stuff" charter:
Communications: USRX /COMS - and other "stuff" - Mar 29 1997
Subject 14174 [5243]
(My original comment #reply-1088386 ) (Interestingly enough, you'll see that Glenn posted there earlier this month, but nobody was listening, 'til tonight.)

3Com and USR announce merger (Jeff Forrest)
Communications: COMS/USRX - Feb 26 1997
Subject 13197 [1097]

Scrapps duplicates the Stuff charter:
Communications: COMS & the Ghost of USRX w/ other STUFF - Jun 11 1997
Subject 15467 [15017+]

I think I'm missing another of Jeff's threads, and I left out all of the misc related threads. The members of these threads have been major innovators and content contributors, as you can see.

>>>I'm starting to think that hard core COMS investors have
a little streak of 'masochism' - you have to enjoy pain
a bit to stay with it...
