Does anyone think that the Cleveland Freenet deserves its own page as it was the first of this type of network? I was a member of the Freenet from 1989-1997 when they shut down. I loved this resource and am truly disappointed to find that it seems to be missing from the internet in even the smallest references.
I was on there around then, too. Who were you? Cigarette = in210
Take a look at the link that I added to the NPTN Blue Book. The first section gives a history of how the Cleveland Free-Net started and led to the creation of other Free-Nets. --Mu301 16:54, 19 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
