Updated a bit, under the 'community' bit, since RTL was really the second online
community, being preceeded by ATL. There was mention recently about the Lego
community in 1991 (in reference to the switch to 9V tracks), but I don't know if
that means ATL was around pre-1993, or whether there was some other venue where
Lego enthusiasts had discussion. Or if people were just mis-remembering. Anyone?
Hmm... Wonder if the wikipedia has entries for RTL/ATL...

(...) Well, just do it. Wikipedia is a new encyclopedia (...) (19 years ago, 1-Jun-05, to lugnet.general, lugnet.faq)
