Marcus (formerly vortmax) and I cofounded #neweather on mirc back in 1997(?). Ian used to get on once in a while and i think Randy too, but im not sure. We were also, at least i was, very active on the ne.weather usenet bulletin boards. Gary Gray, Joseph Bartlo, myself, and a few others were the originals to that group. I went by "SteveB" at the time. So yeah, I'm old as dirt and probably have most of ya beat wrt seniority. There is someone name Jerry that I think may post in the New England forum that goes back and also a Logan that might be in the NY forum, but i dont peruse those forums too often.
