Nifty search facility too, these are the newsgroup posts exactly 8 years
ago, on 8th December 1996, (no records from 8/12/95):

Some familiar names there!

Indeed some stalwarts in there and familiar themes too as John says. Looks
like I first stumbled across the group in January of 1997, seems like
yesterday - and of course this was when I first came across the immensely
knowledgeable M. Rowley before I had the pleasure of working with him a year
or two later. Not to mention a certain W. Hand :-) Also brings back fond
memories of reading Paul's (Bartlett) evening model summaries and the
tantalising will it won't it set-ups. I haven't looked but I guess it
must've been the winter of 97/98 I'm thinking of and I can't remember now if
it did or it didn't ! The Google archives really are a fantastic resource.

Nostalgic cheers,
Jon.
