I'll have to read it, as one who had been on net.startrek at least since
1984, if I remember correctly. Tim's reviews were well-written and a
resource I went back to for years. I remember when he quit doing Voyager
reviews (and I wish he had done a few "Enterprise" reviews for old-times
sake...)
In that vein, I remember Jerry Boyajian's (the Mad Armenian) and Jeff
(Moriarty) Meyers's comics reviews on net.comics and rec.arts.comics in
the 1980s. It was a time of a new age in comics with Watchmen and
Crisis and others, and a golden age of comics reviewing.
There is a Ph.D. dissertation in those old Usenet discussions.
Sigh :-).
