I knew I had it somewhere...

I believe that the July 1996 date is when we went from vanagon@lenti to vanagon@gerry. That would jive with the creation of the vanagon@onelist group (which became vanagon@egroups which became vanagon@yahoogroups) to get through the migration.

When were the list splits?

Vanagon>T2>Vintagebus

Vanagon April 1994

Vanagon/type2 July 1996

Vintagebus ran independently for some time before the official type2/vintagebus fork, not sure when Thom dates "official inception".

When I asked this a while back, I came up with the answer of June 1998 for VintageBus.

The oldest messages in the VB archive are dated 20 June 1998, and they aren't the usual "testing testing 1 2 3" messages associated with a new list, so it probably started up at least a few days before then.

Looking up http://vintagebus.com/lists.html on web.archive.org shows the first mention of the VB list on 16 May 1998. The page says it was updated on 14 May 1998.
