It's kind of fun to go back in history...

I decided to go ahead and do some goofing though google and look up some
"old timers", but only on RTL.  I also kept the span between Jan 1, 1996 to
Jan 1, 1999.  It was a  bit surprising because I would have thought some of
those I looked up would have been older.  I remember seeing rec.toys.lego in
one of those "internet yellow pages" books they published back in early
1996.

Here's a real oldie from Tim Courtney dated Nov 27, 1996:

The oldest on RTL I could find w/ Lar's name on RTL was Sept 14,1998:

Myself, (and announcing as a newbie too!) Jun 18, 1997:

Ahhhhh.... those were the days....

Adr.
