Wow. June 1995.  I'm a newbie--I only started posting to RTL in January of
1998.

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.
