Khen (yes, got it right), nobody has mentioned the OM FAQ which, to my
recollection, was an early product of those who were in at the beginning of
this list. It can be found at
http://brashear.phys.appstate.edu/lhawkins/photo/photo.shtml courtesy of R
Lee Hawkins (who I suspect is still a "lister", though I have not seen him
post for a long time) together with a host of links to repositories of other
OM arcana, amongst them the site maintained by Mark Dapoz (who *is* still
here) at http://olympus.dementia.org and the immense achievement of the eSIF
at http://www.star.ucl.ac.uk/~rwesson/eSIF/om-sif.htm all of which ar warmly
recommended.
The archives go back to the beginning of 1998, and there are several
currently active listers who posted then, take a look and you will see
several names you can recognise. But not AG Scnozz - at that time he was
using a pseudonym!

Hahahaha....sometimes it gets difficult knowing what is truth and what is a
piece of joke thrown around over here. Guys are so humorous with their wit
so much so that when I heard about tele-text and the M-1, I was gullible
enough to take it all in!!! But I'll get there eventually once more and more
people like you post their history lessons to me. I'm dead interested
because this List is formidable and I'm prepared to believe that this is the
most pervasive and largest of its type on the net. Someone out there can
either substantiate that or correct me. Either way is fine. I just want to
know.
Thanks Garth. Your information is invaluable.
