Yes... the 12th of April, 1995, is the day Arachne came on line. Liz Reynolds is the creator (and owner) of the Lace List. Thanks so much, Liz, for thinking of this and having the knowledge and access to a computer that could handle the List. Even though Liz is no longer a regular participant, she stills pays the fees and keeps the List alive.
I found the group when it was one year and one month old. There were 300 members at that time. We steadily grew until we reached something like 1200 members. I haven't seen a member analysis for quite some time, but I think our membership has maintained itself at roughly that size for several years. The discussions on the List have expanded my lace knowledge tremendously over the years. And it was Arachne that took me to England in 1998 for the Arachne 98 Conference. I probably would never have gone there on my own. 60 of the Arachnians spent a week together for fun and classes. So --- Happy Birthday Arachne !!! And many more to come (I hope).
