As an alumnus from decades back (hint: I had an account on ARPANET Host #1), this was nostalgic and interesting. The extended 'Elllllll' is a change, and I am curious as to when it was instituted. I think it's an improvement. I also recall that the three claps between letters were accompanied by (or sometimes, as when the band shouted it, replaced by) 'rah-rah-rah'. Does that still happen? If not, the historian in me wonders when the changes happened.
