I missed the original airing of "the Gathering" but I believe I started watching the show from the first handful of episodes on the PTEN network when it first was broadcast, at the behest of a good friend.

I don't remember when I started lurking and then posting on USENET, but I've been a "regular" on rastb5m for many years, only not posting as regularly now over there because of RL. My name there is the same here, or "Wendy of NJ"
