Anyway, Yahoo doesn't seem to offer this kind of data to a moderator even, so I resorted to just tooling around and happened upon the very first ever message on 10th June 1999 from none other than our founding father, Fat Bob Fisics...closely followed by Yours Truly in excited fashion with Message #2 on 11th June...
> Friends, colleagues, joyriders and general hangers on,

> Murray Motor Company have just confirmed delivery details for my long

> Extreme details as follows:
>
> - Elise number 7001
- New Aluminium bodywork & hardtop; navy blue cloth hood
- Driving lamps, Radio kit, cloth seats, alarm upgrade
> - completes production on Friday 25 June
> - delivered to Murray Lotus, Sighthill, Edinburgh w/c 28 June
> - collection by yours truly on Friday 2 July (just in time for the JCMR

> It ain't over 'til it's over, of course, so a guarantee of delivery in w/c

> So, you've all had to put up with my obsessive anticipation. NOW all that

Ah, happy days.
I'm getting used to this BBS nonsense now...unlikely to post as much but at least I can watch the threads I'm interested in with email prompts via the "notify when post is made" option. However a fully integrated email digest with selectable thread inclusion would be nice

PS - Perhaps Tut can do something on SE1 stats, as you keep all the messages in your Outlook archive, don't you?
