Was Jeff "Nephilim?" There were giants in the earth in those days.
Wow. June 1995. I'm a newbie--I only started posting to RTL in January of 1998.
Dave!

The emails matched up, so I would assume that was him.

Hey, I'm even newer! I started reading sporatically in early '99, and started
posting in... The summer of '99 sometime. I believe someone was just talking
about how there was actually a community when they switched to 9V trains, which
was 1991. But it seems the oldest post that Google has is in alt.toys.lego is
from Feb 1993, though.

A “vet” compared to me, Dave! It appears my earliest post to RTL was October 3,
1998 (Yes, it was regarding LEGO trains:-) I discovered LUGNET in Jan ‘99....

Wow, I looked up my posts, and the earliest they had was May 11, 1998. Though that
was a post from Larry about my liking the jeep in 6405, so I know I must have posted
earlier than that.
Not too much earlier, though, as it was Brian Kendig that turned me to online Lego
resources in 96 or 97.
So I guess I'm still a newbie ;-)

My first post to r.t.l. was August 9, 1995. Good grief.

Wow, missed beating out Nephilim by THAT much.
let's trim lugnet.faq off the FUT, ok?

I did some looking and found June 1997 was mine but I -know- I was browsing
before then, like early 1996.
Adr.
