The list was both initiated and set-up by John Ross, then a PhD
student in (astro)physics somewhere in the USA. It then passed to
Lars Mathieson, and then to David Durand (bless all three).
Thanks.
HOWEVER, I am neither a Swede or a Scotsman. I'm a Dane, and my name
is Lars Mathiesen. REMEMBER THAT! (If you want to pronounce it, it's
/lA:s ma"ti:?s=n/ (http://www.phon.ucl.ac.uk/home/sampa/danish.htm)).
John Ross was at the University of Boston. Back then the list was just
a mail alias.
Incidentally, here is the list of subscribers on the day I took over
(1993-03-24). Since people were probably always added at the end, we
real oldtimers can judge our relative oldtimerness by our position.
