In September 1995, an article, written by Colette Reap, was published in Matrix - the news magazine of the British Science Fiction Association. At that point in time, AFP was less than four years old
Six years later, as AFP's 10th Birthday drew near, Colette was invited, by the L-Space Web team, to write an update of her original article. At the same time, three other afpers were were also asked to contribute their definitions of the newsgroup.
What follows is not intended to explain AFP from every viewpoint. As will become apparent, a newsgroup is many different things to different people. This is merely a small collection of viewpoints from different, long- standing, afpers.
If you have any comments regarding these articles or feel that they do not represent the AFP that you know, then please contact esmi@lspace.org.
