Looked on dejanews. Earliest references I could find come from the very
beginning of Dejanews ('95), so it's Ancient history. Most early mentions
are on rec.arts.sf.written.robert-jordan, although there's also a mention
crossposted to sci.math, alt.stupidity, and rec.org.mensa by Ross Garmil,
someone employed (1) here at BU (2), who says:
"Or am I just being too philosophical for this froup? And why do we call
it a froup and not a group? I think it was Renes Decartes who first
said, "a froup is a group, unless it's a froup." And he was a
mathemetician, even though people laughed at him for having the name
Rene."
So, uh, that doesn't clear it up at all, really.
(1) As Administrator, Academic Prog, even.
(2) which I find amusing in a small-world sense, because he just yesterday
asked a question to the help queue for one of the machines I administer.
If Jasper doesn't reveal the mystery, perhaps I'll ask him.
