You guessed it right, November 16th 1999 is the date ITLUG was born.

I am starting a list of local users group and clubs.  I want it to be as
complete as possible and for the history books (and, aw heck, for charts • and
graphs someday) I'd like to include the official dates of formation of • each
group/club.

As a first approximation, I checked in the newsgroups for the first • mention
(i.e., the earliest reference) to each name.  This pegs the order of • formation
pretty solidly, I think, and in some cases pegs the official formation • dates
fairly closely, but for a couple of the more established groups (PNLTC for
example), the dates are probably off significantly.

Date format is yyyy/mm/dd:

1998-09-29  PNLTC: Pacific Northwest LEGO Train Club (U.S.A.)
1998-11-14  NGLTC: North Georgia LEGO Train Club (U.S.A.)
1999-02-08  BayLUG: Bay Area LEGO Users Group (U.S.A.)
