Thread Name: Mudcat's Tenth Birthday (October 1, 2006)
Subject: RE: Mudcat's Birthday
I love you, too, Spaw. What would we do without you?

I was on one of my long investigator itineraries in the fall of 1996 (I think that was when I was working Yosemite), and didn't discover Mudcat until January, 1997, when I discovered that the Digital Tradition had moved from Xerox to a new home, after having been offline for a while. I found Mudcat by searching for the DT.

The very first Mudcat thread is http://www.mudcat.org/thread.cfm?threadid=004 - it got scrambled in the Crash of 2005, so I've linked to the printer-friendly version, which is in proper order. There is a Thread 1 and even a Thread 2 - but for some reason, thread 004 is the oldest and first.

We now have had some 94,964 threads, and this is message number 1842397. Let me get back to you on the number of registered members....

It's nice to be here. Thanks a lot for all this, Max.
