(...) I think they're missing the first year or so of RTL and the first two years or so of ATL. But even if you could go back and check those definitively, what do you do about people who lurked for along time first (and maybe still participated, (...)

(...) I agree with this. I've been around longer than some, not as long as others. I'd probably rank among the earliest people to use Lugnet, and probably be in the top 100 posters, I suppose. I see Lugnet as something that has brought back some (...) (25 years ago, 2-Jul-99, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) Well, short of slurping all the old ATL and RTL posts, and automatically assigning lugnet id's based on the oldest post from each e-mail id, it sounds pretty reasonable to me. As long as you randomized the exact numbers after the selection (...) (25 years ago, 3-Jul-99, to lugnet.admin.general)
