If you were a member of the old Telegraph Road Mailing List, just raise your hand and say Hi!!!
Many of us were there, its time to find old friends, invite others if you want!
-
Only a reader in the last (year(s)), not a poster.
-
Hi! I was a T-roadie from the early beginning. I went by the name Michiel.
-
Hi (I was there under a different nickname)
-
I was there too, but received no mail, yet. My first contact with organized fans. I really don't remember the nick name I was using.
-
Also only a reader at the end, I think I posted maybe once or twice. Don't remember nickname
-
I was a T-Roadie and even before that I was subscribed to Dire-Straits@merrimack.edu mailing list. More or less since 1992.
-
YES!
Since 1996. Nick was Almen.
I used to have the Dire Straits Real Audio Archive website with 30 sec clips from all the albums! :D
(Btw, I'm still very good friend with (nick) BiA who had a killer website with the picture of the Brothers in arms cover with MK signature and state of the art 90's Photoshop flare ;D )
-
I was reading (since 1999 - when did it actually end? I remember Tomas Molin writing that he fell asleep in a train during the first listen of Shangri-La, did it really run until 2004? Or am I mistaken and he said it at another place? Or did anybody else say it?? ::) )
I never posted (I think), but really, I can hardly remember anything apart from very bad discussions (political stuff?) and spam posts at the bitter end?
Would be nice to read some of the last threads again (or maybe not), just to remember things a little bit. I was very late with internet connection in my personal life (1999, when I was 28!). The first thing I searched for was (not S E X ) but MARK KNOPFLER and the first hit I had was information about STP coming out soon - I really went crazy - after all those years... And very soon after that (days later) I found TR mailing list. I was more searching through TM's site because I used it as some kind of archive and was wondering how many great live recordings did exist... Those were the times my fandom got reactivated, after a longer break from 1996....

That can't be true. ;) Shangri-La is so full of energy. ::) :disbelief
Now everybody is aware : please make sure you're not in a train, you don't drive and you have a few liters of coffee ready when you'll get your copy of Privateering. ::)

Yup, first thing I did when I went to uni in 96 and got internet access was join. I don't remember there being nicknames - it was just emails wasn't it?
It was still going in 02, as I went to Shepherds Bush with Hazel from Newcastle's son.
-
I've been on T-road since 1995. Didn't use a nickname.

I joined in '97 I think just after I joined uni and got internet access, a la Dusty. Only a reader, not a poster.
I remember there were two different versions. I got the digest version.
I only recall it running up to 2002 but I may be wrong.
-
I was on T-Road didn't post much and I don't remember my Nickname anymore. Think I was there from 1995 - 1996 when internet came to our house.
-
I think I was there toward 1998. If I recall well I discovered "neck-and-neck" site then runned by Thomas Gygax that linked me to TR. I was an occasionnal poster and don't remember so much trouble.

I joined in 2004, sometime before Shangri-La was released. Unfortunately, the list lost popularity
as new forms of internet communication became popular.

Cool! Knopfler always looks a bit 'soft' in the Goldern Heart era. :(
I love some of the last messages on the Guestbook... "Don't drive the Motorbike next time...."

I was a Telegraph Roadie. I don't recall what year I joined, but Frosty was still running the list then.
-
I know it was still going in 2005, but notifications were becoming very rare. I was a member, or on the mailing list, but I rarely posted. First MK associated friends came from that mailing list. My first first bootleg trade came from that list.
-
I was there too. As in here, I was an occasional poster. But I remember the I have read many great discussions and very useful information, specially to me, a Brazilian folk far from the usual MK's habitat. I remember some guys like Jeroen, despite not being a hard poster, Tomas and Thomas, many guys from Spain (who also were in Spanish City mailing list) and a guy named Victor, from Portugal, who used to have a very fine and ironic way of discussing subjects. Are they here by the way?
-
I never posted on T-Road, neither on Mk news, but I read both regularly
-
I remember getting back into MK music around the late 90's & I never posted on TRoad as it was on its last legs at that stage,the first site that I posted on was MK News which was the bee's knees at the time - how things change :o :o Most people are over here now though except for a few die hards.
-
I used to read the T-road emails, but only in its latter stages of existence.
I think I may have contributed to it a few times, but my memory fails me.
Cheers BBB

I joined in 2000 or 2001, don't think I used a nickname. But my dad's email adress ;D There were some lively discussions on TR, I especially remember the "Do basses have feelings" debate after the Pyrobass incident. Those were great times, met some great people on this list. And if it hadn't been for TR, I 'd probably never met MK!
-
for the record: never been a member.
-
I kind of liked the basic style of TR. There was a time, in 2004, when I became more involved, posted some reviews and opinions about Shangri-LA. I was thrilled when I saw that I had mail from TR and I met the first 2-3 collectors that gave me a view of what recordings are out there, and got some as well.Must have been reading since my first dial-up connection in 1998?
-
I was there from 1995 onwards. First it was organized by a US fan, later on by Tomas Molin (www.knopfler.net).
I guess there was a pretty solid fan base from the early days of DS till around 1996, when MK started his solo work.
So many fans lost interest and kind of disappeared... I guess the TR mailing list was suppose to die when it did.
Message boards are way more easy to maintain and offer more possibilities.
