The first digest was Roger Duffey's SF-LOVERS, which was started
as a "temporary" measure to deal with a mail overload problem.
Without a historical perspective, it's quite easy to get the wrong
impression about how all this came to pass. It is the result of the work of
a large number of individuals, some of whom have been at it for the last 20
years or so, and have been watching each other grow older at conferences
during that period.
Makes one feel ancient.

P.S. When I got my first account on UCLA-ATS, I signed my first
e-mail message on that system with the "--Lauren--" signature,
for no particular reason. I've been using it on every message
since then. Talk about a rut!
