I used to visit on the old Greenpeace BBS with an admin guy who'd been at Burning Man, from the very beginning when it was just a few people. By 1983/84, he was already getting disgusted with how it had become well-known and overtaken by "newbies." There've been major news stories on tv about it over the years. I cannot imagine what he must think of it, now. He was going to quit going just before i lost contact with him in '85, he was so digusted with it. From what he said, it seemed it was mostly a bunch of bikers in the beginning.
