I came to the GAML sometime
in early '96. I had been watching The X-Files for some time, and one
day, in the course of making my way around the Internet, I came
across the instructions for how to subscribe to the
GAML.
I lurked on the list for a month or so and finally ventured out,
and when I didn't have stones hurled at me, I decided it was safe enough to
stick around. My moment of acceptance came when I received my first mention
in one of Robin's post's.
The list has since come to represent a sort of community
to the people on it. And like any community, it is full
of divergent people with different tastes, attitudes and opinions. But unlike most communities,
we literally span the globe. It is really amazing that so many different people
could find so much common ground, but then again, we are talking about
Gillian Anderson.
So, in the spirit of community, I decided to try this page. I have been very pleased by the response. You will find helpful information, such as a list of commonly used abbreviation, instructions for subbing and un-subbing from the list(bottom of Rules), a history and account of the Butt Weasels(they are our un-Official Mascots, this is a must read),a bit of information about some of our more notorious members and a page with list guidelines and other helpful bits of information.
And while we all don't have butt weasels and some of us refuse to
use duct tape; some of us like
Gillian and some don't even know who she is(although, I just can't imagine how that is possible);
(then again some of us don't know who we are to begin with!) we all found our way to the
GAML, so sit back relax,
tool around and be sure to stop for milk and cookies on your way out.
