Based on an inspiration by [info]lauriemann, check Google Groups and find the date and group of your earliest recorded usenet posting. Then ask 4 other people on your friendslist to do the same and link back to this post.

Got you beat. Per Google Groups, May 20, 1985 to net.flame, although I know I was on Usenet before I started at SDC from UCLA. But that would put the date around 1984. You might see when la.eats was created; I know I was responsible for the creation of that group -- it was created by Rich Wales of UCLA for me.

Now that you know who you are sharing it with, you might want to rethink that goal of owning the collected works of Adam Smith.

My oldest Google-archived message appears to be this one.

My second-oldest Google-archived message is this one. This posting is a little more relevant in a way, since I run a Web site called Dead People Server. ;->

I know I was a regular early poster to rec.arts.sf-lovers, soc.motss, soc.women (before it became unreadable) and ne.general.

Gee, then we might have run across each other. I occasionally posted to those groups as well. I was sdcrdcf!faigin or ucla-cs!faigin, or even quad1!faigin.

How do you do that?

Go to http://groups.google.com/

Select Advanced Groups Search.

Try to remember the E-mail address you used to make your first USENET posting.
Enter that in the exact string search box (NOT the author box).

Try to remember the year in which you made your first posting. In the Message Dates box, select Return messages posted between and set the year that you think you made your first USENET posting.

If you can't remember either your E-mail address or the year, make an educated guess.

Note that Google Groups has NOT archived everything; I know I made my first postings to rec.arts.sf-lovers in April 1998 and that does not show up.

Additionally, I typed my last name into the exact search string box and picked a range of dates from before I made my first posting until a year or so after. This works better with 'Lennhoff' than with 'Mann' - only you know how effective it will be for you.

True, that kind of search is pretty useless for "Mann" for many reasons!

But if you have a unique first or last name (or near-unique), that's a good technique for helping find your postings if you're uncertain about your old E-mail address.

XVI:
In the year 2054, the entire defense budget will purchase just one
aircraft. This aircraft will have to be shared by the Air Force and
Navy 3-1/2 days each per week except for leap year, when it will be
made available to the Marines for the extra day.
XVII:
Software is like entropy. It is difficult to grasp, weighs nothing,
and obeys the Second Law of Thermodynamics, i.e., it always increases.
XVIII:
It is very expensive to achieve high unreliability. It is not uncommon
to increase the cost of an item by a factor of ten for each factor of
ten degradation accomplished.
XIX:
Although most products will soon be too costly to purchase, there will
be a thriving market in the sale of books on how to fix them.
XX:
In any given year, Congress will appropriate the amount of funding
approved the prior year plus three-fourths of whatever change the
administration requests -- minus 4-percent tax.
-- Norman Augustine
