"I go to our message board two or three times a day" said Lynne Margosian, who runs an "official" club / Web site out of her Freeport home, devoted to the pop music group the Cowsills. "Even if we don't always put something down on the site, we'll at least monitor it every day."
Margosian, a fan of the band since 1967 ("I was young and they wre kids"), ramped up the site about three years ago with four of five other "hairheads" (the Cowsills' cover of "Hair" from the Broadway musical topped the pop charts in 1969).
"Pen-pal lists are great, but of course letters take time to send and receive," said (Linda) Kay. "And apart from conventions and fan meetings, it was hard for a large number of fans to communicate with one another on a regular basis and share information and ideas. Now it can be done immediately via the chat rooms."
