May 19, 1997. I can't believe in just a few short weeks it will be 15 years for me and this little sneezing fetish community. That was when I went searching one day on news groups for sneezing material and came across posts of people asking if anyone else had this liking.
From news groups, to mailing lists, to trading sounds via mailing cassettes(Cassettes? What are these strange contraptions you speak of, Prof??), to the first three websites (SFO, Sneezing Girls, Tarot of Sneezing), to chatting on messengers/chatrooms and trading wares, to people selling vhs videos($300 for an "ultimate" sneezing vid?? hell no!), to the first forum(that ended up a huge pit of flame wars), to more smaller personal blogs/websites forming, to the yahoo groups, to Bondi's wav page and buying recordings on Nightfliry, to the current crop of forums, to peeps posting on Youtube and buying clips on clips4sale. What a long strange trip it's been.
Hell yes, I've enjoyed every minute of it. Even with the sharks, and the outsiders poking fun(somethingawful anyone?), moderators drunk with power(present company included; i never did find out the schmuck that said I had an ego problem(I do BTW..teehee)), fights with clip stores that ended up with them stopping making new clips(to those that caused that, you suck...suck it hard). You take the good times and the bad times...life goes on.
Here's to another 15 years of fun!
