Oldest signature block claiming you to be a DD seen from early 1998. http://web.archive.org/web/19970414141008/www.debian.org/people.html lists some early packages. The oldest timestamp in those is: http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/m/modemu/current/changelog -- John Goerzen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Thu, 2 Jan 1996 00:02:50 -0600 That matches the various biogs and SPI platforms which claim 1996. > 2) The date my account was created on master Oldest timestamp in your master $HOME looks to be 15 Jan 1997, which is long before the first use of [EMAIL PROTECTED] that I've found. > 3) The date my key was added to the keyring Predates keyring changelog start in January 1998.

I'm not sure it would help. I've tried to find out when other veterans joined and it seems unusual for a primary source like a welcome email to be archived anywhere.
