[NTLK] Anyone heard from Steve Weyer recently?

[Forrest]

And, as it happens, when I review the email I just sent—and expecting to see a long trail of old junk—I see very little.

Hmpf. Carry on.

Mahalo,
Forrest

There is a special nostalgic thrill in sending and receiving NTLK messages this way—and Grant and Victor (the original List Dad) can correct me on this, but NTLK was originally specifically designed for this purpose, which is why no images can be imbedded in the messages.
