Fwd: longevity of the mailing list

[George Roffe]

I found the list via Alta Vista or Yahoo (IIRC Alta Vista was either 
part of Yahoo or they had an agreement).  It was in mid-late 96 I think 
(less than a year after moving to Houston).

I'm pretty sure Merlin was gone by the time I joined the list because I 
remember reading ABOUT him.

I remember when Mike joined the list.  He stirred things up at first 
because he blew up some of the "common knowledge."
