I would like to learn something about the history and
purpose of this group. For example, when it was first
formed, was a posting submitted that described the reasons
for its formation and the intended content?
Is there a FAQ for the group?
The earliest postings in the group that I find at Google
Groups are dated June 2000, and none of them say anything
about the formation of the group. In fact, it appears that
most if not all of them had to do with people looking for
pen pals in other countries.
It's entirely possible that the group was formed before June
2000 but Google Groups didn't start picking it up right
away. Can anyone here say when the actual date of formation
was?
Any help anyone cares to give me will be greatly
appreciated.
