    Rest in peace, Be-Bop! We will miss you something fierce.

    I once got thrown out of some rockabilly group on AOL or somewhere because I criticized something Harrell said, he was a member. I don't think it was AOL, what was the other site that had a bunch of groups before Facebook became popular? Don't think it
    was Google either.

    Could it be Myspace ?
    No.
    I figured it out. It was a Yahoo group.

    They went defunct like 3 years ago. I guess they were losing a lot of money.
