As for an exact date, I'd use the date J-1 registered gmltc.org.

Nope. Can't take it. I had originally thought about the name "Upper Midwest LEGO
Train Club". J-1 had thought about "Greater Minnesota LEGO Train Club", and even
registered gmltc.org. There was a bit of disagreement, but then J-3 suggested
"Greater Midwest LEGO Train Club", and we could still use the domain name. So if
anyone gets credit, it would be John Kelly. The rest, as they say, is history.
