Yes. It's not just fandom that's changed - it's the nature of the internet. And I can't even wish it otherwise, as unhappy as it makes me sometimes, because it opened the 'net for pleasure up to a majority rather than a minority.

Things tend to circle round, though, in life, so we might find ourselves eventually in something that, while almost certainly not the same, might have the same layers of public/private access. I hope so. Although probably it'll all end up audiovisual and I'll just have to leave the internet...
