Description
The Manchester United Electronic mailing list has over 2,500 members based in about forty countries. This book is a selection of the best posts of the season 1996-97. There are about thirty articles selected from each month and they cover a huge range of subjects - general United history, specific games from the past, original match reports from last season, statistical data, trivia, stories about encounters with heroes, European travels with United to Vienna, Porto, Dortmund. You get the idea. There are over 290 articles in total by over 90 authors.
What makes this book unique may be the fact that every article was written without publication in mind. These are just average United fans. Well, maybe above average but the authors are as diverse as the subject matter. Their ages are equally diverse. So is their length of service in the Red Army. Yes, these are simply United fans 'speaking' their mind to a group of other United fans.
This book is a good yarn of how technology, and the revolution people don't yet understand, can affect them. It has affected me in a way I never could have guessed. I may still not fully understand its implications. I have never edited a book before but technology allows an ordinary supporter like me to be able to put together a project like this. I have had a huge amount of assistance from many people. It has been a truly collaborative effort. About 20 people working in 10 countries have helped it to become a reality. I have only ever met one of these people and have only spoken with three of them. Over 1,000 email messages went back and forth across the globe as it took shape... The marvels of technology!
