The first edition is available on-line now. It turned out to be a lot less work than I first figured, once I realised I could get most of the dates from the spreadsheets I use for the Rankings page rather than having to do hundreds of Archive searches. D'oh! :-) You will notice that not every poster has a date listed. This is because the data in my spreadsheets currently only go back to November 1998; if anyone sent his latest post prior to November 1998, it is not listed there. The date will have be retrieved from the Great Brin-L Archive. A note about the date format. As I am Dutch, and most of the software on my computer is in Dutch, the date format is... guess what... Dutch format. That means dates are given in the format dd-mm-yyyy (day-month-year). Just thought I should mention that, before people start wondering why there seem to be 31 months in a year and only 12 days in a month... :-) Jeroen _________________________________________________________________________ Wonderful World of Brin-L Website: http://www.Brin-L.com Tom's Photo Gallery: http://tom.vanbaardwijk.com
