11/29/2005: "20 years of USENET"

From what I can tell, my first post to USENET was March 20, 1986

Thats kinda cool, in another 4 months it will be 20 years since then.

Russ Nelson beat me by three years, but then, Russ is four years older than I am, and I am not a racist. (UPDATE: This was wrong, and I've issued a retraction.)

I don't find ESR on USENET until May 10, 1987, but its entirely possible that I don't know the right email addresses to search farther back.

I wonder what ever happened to Rex Jollif and Joel Axe?
