I can claim I was at least ONE of the first, and therefore on here longer

I was too, back when you had to write a little essay to Bill to get
in. He told me I was the 6th one to sign up. I think I joined 2 days
before the list started, and I heard about it on
alt.folklore.computers. I don't have the early messages anymore- darn
mailbox limits :-) I would still be at the same address I started with
(rws(a)ais.net) if they hadn't dumped me.
