To be fair, while we may have missed the 020th and 20th anniversaries,
we're well ahead of the 0x20th anniversary.
So --- what base are we using?

At least in the UK it is tradition to celebrate a person's 21st birthday
(coming of age and all that). So perhaps the same applies to mailing
lists :-)
Somewhere I have a 21st birthday card that a certain classic computer
enthiast (now alas passed away) sent, not to me, but to my PDP11/45...
But that being said... we should have had a party or something *grin*.
You could argue that years are index starting from zero. Thus the
20-year celebration is next year and we have ample time to prepare.
(It's what we did when we missed an anniversery for the computer science
programme).
