Yes. You said below what I am about to say: I was the first person other
than you to post to the now no longer extant version of the news
server... I can't prove it because all those posts were dumped and we
started over, they all were test posts, essentially. That was back in
July or August of last year, I forget.
I can't even pull out posts from my sent messages folder to "prove" it
(or prove that I know how to fake what posts look like) since that was
three computers ago and I tend not to migrate draft folders.

No no, #2 ala Robert Wagner in Spy Who Shagged me. Not that you're evil,
mind you, but you DO have some cool toys just like Dr. Evil does... you
even have a space base or two.

For the record it was actually my argument that Lugnet needed to
establish brand identity and soon, and that using "free" available
software would be a faster way to get there than writing the perfect
from scratch system, and that a news server was a great place to start,
that got Lugnet, the newssite, started. Or so I'd like to think.
I recall strongly tooling around Boston together in Todd's Saturn
passionately making that case, while philosophising on the Cathedral vs.
Bazaar software development models.
It worked.
You're all welcome.
Hence my claim to #2 despite not having the bonafides of 1993 ATL
participation. Lugnet is a new thing, a clean break is justified and
required.

| (...) Heh heh. OK, here's the fully story... Larry had a *very* positive impact, to be sure. Very important and helpful discussion. It's what he does for a living, too, basically (or did, I'm not sure). Anyway, I remember writing Larry afterwards (...) (26 years ago, 3-Jul-99, to lugnet.admin.general)
