First thread about Friends

You may have heard about this but I'm posting it anyway. "Google has integrated the past 20 years of Usenet archives into Google Groups, which now offers access to more than 700 million messages dating back to 1981." Among the most memorable articles is the first thread about Friends. You can access it here: http://groups.google.com/groups?threadm=365tpt%24k07%40senator-bedfellow.MIT.EDU

An interesting comment by John F. Carr is that they should have cut out the scene with Rachel sitting alone by the window. Maybe you have other comments?

Meanwhile, according to google, here is the first message ever posted to alt.tv.friends (I'm not so sure, but this is according to google):

Yes, the theme song is performed by The Rembrandts. There is no indication yet whether the song will appear on any of their albums or singles. We can only hope! :)

And the 13th message on that same thread was posted in 2000 by our very own Tennant.

Your references above are to alt.tv.friends, but there were posts about "Friends" going back to the first season in other ng's before ATF was created. (Based on your other post in this thread, I am going to assume you realize this already.)

Wow...I didn't realise google kept posts going back that far...how on earth do you get them? <is keen to see his niave postings to alt.tv.nypd-blue>

Actually what is even scarier is searchign for your own name on google groups and reading posts you posted ages ago! My posts only seem to be dated back to 1999, but I'm sure I was posting before that.
