Hmm ... well, I've been here for about two years now. I don't remember anyone
who is still active on the newsgroup being around then, except for possibly
Alexis. The place was bustling when I got here, though.
Here's a blast from the past for you folks: the Holy Order of Asphalt from the
people who used to be around here. The file I've got saved on my HD says it's
from February 1994, but I may have edited out the headers then; I really don't
know how old it is.
Enjoy.
