*REplies* to my first posts are there, but not the

The first post I recall making in 1987 is there. This was just after
Australia got a reliable 19.2K modem link to the US but before TCP/IP had
taken hold. From the address I used (huw(a)latcs1.oz) we were still using
SUN-II as the network protocol.

Prior to about 1993, I hadn't yet discovered Usenet as I was
still posting on various BBS networks, including FIDOnet and GTnet (I
think that was the name of the GTpower specific network). It wasn't
until small ISP's started popping up all over that I finally got a
Unix shell account and jumped to the Internet. Then again, I never
had the access to connections from colleges and such either. There
was a time though that I was doing a dozen different BBS's each day
trying to keep up with various message bases and discussions,
including running my own for a while.

My first post seems to be from 1996/10/08. I am, quite simply, not
worthy.
I *did* discover my first e-mail address, jsharp(a)sirinet.net, about which
I had forgotten.
