The Online Community? I first started lurking on this site in Oct. 2004 when it came up on a search for "Fred Villari". I remembered this guy and his martial arts shoe ads in the 1980's and when I saw his videos advertised in Black Belt Magazine I was curious. To my great surprise, a year and a half later, I'm now a Moderator at Martial Talk with over 2,000 posts and spend a large amount of my free time here. Is this the wave of the future? Will online communities such as Martial Talk supplement or replace even the local communities of half a century ago? Thoughts?
