It's a difficult question to answer, as evinced by the debates on when to place the official "Founder's Day" of a.p.d-i. Some sites got the group as soon as it was newgrouped, then some picked it up later. Apparently some sites independently newgrouped it and only weeks later were the newsfeeds merged. I, for one, remember the namespace debates in alt.config last year, and introduced Karl and Dougl in the very beginning of the newsgroup. So I guess that'd make me one of the Grand Old Men... -- Dennis Brennan djb6@midway.uchicago.edu
