Happy Birthday

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Today is the second anniversary of the opening of the Urth list
on April 5, 1997.

Since that day we've written almost 7 megabytes or about 2000 pages. =20

To put this into perspective, the stream of words would
reach to Alpha Centauri and back, if each letter were seven
million miles long.  Well, maybe that doesn't really put
things into perspective at all.  Anyway, thanks for the
long, fascinating conversation.
