"One of the eeriest areas of the Net to stumble on at 4am is
the engineering nostalgia pages of the TRANSDIFFUSION
NETWORK. A thirty-seven year old archive begun by a
nationwide collective of schoolboys, maintained by the
men they became, Transdiffusion collects the idents, logos,
and general desiderata of long dead television companies.
Essays on "the presentation manager as chef"; blurred clips
of a junior John Humphries from the sixties; echoey MP3s
trailing long dead shows; and urgent messages
from RTE ordering viewers to turn off their televisions, in
case the local powerstation collapsed from the strain - it's
all here. And now, we're told the mailing list wing of the
wider gang of obsessives MHP-Chat ("the list that discusses
anything on TV except the programmes (idents, widescreen
glitches, test cards, etc.") is offering a free copy of
Volume 2 of the Tansdiffusion CD archive to its own members.
Our correspondent writes: "It would seem uncontentious to
flag this, since I hardly think anyone would join a TV
engineering list in bad faith, simply to lay their hands on
such a CD". There's no bad faith within 625 lines of this
place.

sadly par of the course in today's net society
when one cannot even go into MSN roleplay chat as a demonic child soul eating clown without being accused of being a bit odd
i mean tcha!
