The gallery wasnt added until 1998.  So you can remeber the gallery before it was added to the list.

According to the rules of arithmetic I learned as a child, 2014 - 20 = 1994. Were the starting year to be 1998, this wouldn't be the 20th anniversary but the 16th.  Andy should know when he started it.

Best, Roger

I don't remember when I joined, but it was before 1996 because I remember enjoying the weekly submissions and reading the verbal wars that were going on at the time.  And, that was from London, where I was on sabbatical.  It's all been very informative, instructive, useful and interesting.  Keep it up as a long as you can, Andy!

I don't usually wish people Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukah, or whatever, but will do here, to the believers.
Happy New Year to the rest!

With warmest regards to all,

The gallery is a couple of years younger and it took up Friday night or Saturday morning time getting the “show” together. 18 years of Saturday mornings. The expectation was that it would be a useful adjunct to the list chatter.

However, with your cooperation, collaboration and contributions I hope we can keep this activity going for as long as it serves a useful purpose.
