Re: How the IPnG effort was started

Sorry. I made a mistake, it was 313 months ago that I started using names 
made of a root, customer and host part. Robert Tréhin would know better (he 
was the one with Joe Rinde to introduce root names - or TLDs). Again if 
that is what you refer to. So old.
249 months ago is roughly when I started deploying numeric names.

So may be other used them before. Newfrangled is probably an euphemism.
