Do you know who created the initial idea of Fusebox, before the name existed? Someone looking over the April 98 posts would know. OK, it's useless trivia, but as long as I have it I might as well put it up. You never know what someone said or the flow of logic that took place to get to a 'standard' piece of code that we may use today. The older archives are low on my list of things to do so it wouldn't interfere with the current projects.
