RE: [ga] About GA membership again......

["Roeland M. J. Meyer" <rmeyer@mhsc.com>]

William, you want proof from an eye witness? Are you saying that Chris is
either lieing or doesn't remember? What level of proof do you want?

I remember the same things as Chris and Simon, from a different perspctive.
I know for fact that NSF handed the whole mess over to IANA, just like Chris
said. Although, the only one that might still have written proof is Simon.
I'm on about my fifth workstation since then and bazillionth hard drive,
sometimes things get lost over time and sometimes they are hard to find.
Personally I have over 50K files, over 96 GB, on six servers, some of them
go back to 1984 (from FidoNet NET_DEV, so we know that I'm older than dirt
<sigh>, I think that Simon's older than me, but Stef's older than all of us
<grin>).

I think that you can find some of the info in the ORSC archives. However, I
think that you are taking the challenge for proof to absurd heights. This is
something D'Crock would do. You might also try looking into the newdom
archives. I have a copy that I can send to you. Last Summer, I converted
from Eudora to Outlook. I never converted the messagebase, however, I can
send you the whole thing, if you want to chew it yourself, I don't have the
time. It contains, DOMAIN-POLICY, ORSC, IFWP and other lists, back to 1996.
