Subject: Re: SURVEY: How did you learn about The Guru? by jsup on 2008/12/4 0:00:06 I remember when British started this place. He, Andy and I were on the phone talking about it. Discussing a publication related to the site once it took off. At that time it was C4Curu. British got it up and running. There were a handful of people, probably about a dozen. The site never had a lot of traffic until lately. If I remember correctly, someone involved with the start up of this site used the term "sunshine pump" regarding the condition of CF and why they wanted to start this site. The genesis, as I remember, was to combat that "sunshine pump" and make a real technical resource devoid of vendor influence and fluff infomercial type articles. By sunshine pump they meant articles that had a lot of words but no substance and were basically vendor advertising. Quite prophetic I'd say. Years ahead of themselves. Andy, who was that? They wrote an entire dissertation on the "sunshine pump". I betcha I even have it somewhere in the archives. I have been a member since the beginning, long time went by before I really started posting. It's good to see the site gaining traction. |
