Craig,

BTW, it was probably about a year after April 1, 1992 that Carl Malamud started Internet Talk Radio and Geek of the Week. Milo Medin was the first geek, interview published May 7, 1993. Carl interviewed quite a number of geeks during IETF 27 (Amsterdam, July 1983).

The point is: things move fast on the Internet.
