Yes, of course we said that. It was membership-by-approval, and everyone's email addresses (etc.) are right there for anyone with the archives to see (wouldn't be surprised if it included full headers of the emails, IP and all etc.).
But if you were looking for something specific we could help out. Like we dug up the earliest mentions of "plural" we could, which unsurprisingly was Doltaghey House. Searching is relatively easy back to around 2001 or 2000. It's directly in our email, indexed. Unfortunately it also means that when we search back that far we have to see our ex's posts. ROFL Probably the primary reason that a lot of stuff went into the mental round bin.
We also have private correspondence. Like with Anachronic Army etc. And if we go into email archives, we have Elvenkind-Digest emails maybe back to 1998? 1997?
Anyway, we're willing to help. I think we're one of the older systems even back then. Egads starting to feel downright crotchety.
Back when we first went online, you had to take up your whole phone line, and listen to the gawdawful sqwaking of modem handshakes. Then they invented call wasting.
