Thanks, Jerry.

I think I came aboard in the latter part of '94. I know I discovered
FT the summer of '94, and it was some months after that when I learned
about the list.

I went through my own personal "archives" (packrat that I am) and found
the earliest post I had saved from from Kyle Klingler who posted a msg
about a book called "Proximity Zero" by Terry Kepner for those people
who
wanted to make realistic star maps. I know I had earlier posts, but when
They migrated my mail from one system to another I lost a lot of
messages.
:-/  I believe I ran my (the?) first PBeM FT in Oct '95 (geez, Jer, you
were at "troll.uunet.ca" back in '96)

Ahh, the memories.  :-)
