As a side note, I'm pretty sure that my first download of the DT was not from mudcat, but from the previous site where it was hosted before coming to mudcat. (The DOS version was the only thing there was, which was fortunate as it was before I had Windows.)

It was a few years later that I (we) learned about mudcat, and by then of course the DT had been "adopted." It was at least a couple more years before Lin and I "joined up."

Lin In Kansas made her first (official) post 02 Dec 1999. We only had one email addy, so I couldn't join on my own until 15 July 2001 when we figured out how to get into a freeby second account.

I'm still trying to catch up. I think she has about 1,000 posts more than I do. I could whine that lots of her posts were "significantly assisted" by my searches, transcriptions, and other "scut-work" - and I guess I had (and/or bought after we met) most of the books she submitted "our" few hundred tunes and lyrics from - in her name.

[The "little people" never get any credit.]
