Does anyone remember the name of the Scotsman who ran the first

Jostein
That was Steve Graham, but it wasn't the first incarnation of the PUG.
The first was in April of 1997, wrangled and hosted by yours truly on my
home account. It appeared at random intervals for a while, whenever I
had time and could bother enough subscribers into sending me photos.
Steve contacted me about helping out, and we ran it together for a bit,
and it was his idea to take it the free hosting sites, which then became
quite unwieldy, and our good man Igor offered space at komkon. Steve
handled it by himself for a period of time, then disappeared, so I got
it back again about the time the serious whining about it not being
published often enough yada yada began.
I recall it was also when my wife was very sick/pregnant and oh, yeah, I
was burying my mother, so I really enjoyed the many messages about what
a slacker I was. But anyway, I browbeat Cassino into taking it over and
we're pretty much into current events, but I have to say that each
maintainer has raised the level of the PUG.
oh, and I've been on the list since early 1996.
