>>You might be surprised to learn they have really had no idea what you've been talking about all these years.

These are really wise words.

Plastic Man I could see folks not knowing. But at my workplace we get a lot of summer interns and it is amazing the names they do not know -- Boris Karloff, for one.

On the other hand, a lot of our enthusiasms are more than a half century old, and the media landcsape has moved on, accelerating exponentially where even the concept of an oldies station is evaporating. Without TCM there would be almost no black and white movies on television. Etc.

So I routinely figure people have no clue what I'm talking about, but soldier on regardless!
