It is coming upto the tenth anniversary of this group being created, and
here is the earliest post found with reference to this group and it's
creation, and a poster who played a key role in getting it all started,
the one and only, the legendary Rowland McDonnell.
(I wonder what happened to him?)

Well done Rowland, happy anniversary.

(And nobody has yet sussed who I was back in those good old days! Well
2000 - 2002 actually.)

Repost as it's not shown up on any of my servers?

I guess the 23rd of June is the aniversary though.

Who knows. Some say he was replaced by an alien or that he ventured to some
long lost land in search of spiritual enlightenment.
Others argue that he never really left. Who can tell?

As Rowland would say, you are a liar, of course somebody cared then and
somebody cares now, sounds like you are projecting. You really need to
come over to upsd where you will get help for your low self esteem
problems. If you ask Sarah I am sure she will point you in the right
direction as long as you haven't upset her too much.

Bzzt. Thanks for your kind offer, but if that's where you and the other
poor things hang out, then I'll politely decline.

No, we hang out here, that's how we know Rowland so well, but we do
visit the other place to give the poor things as you call them, although
we prefer "lifers", much needed help with their delusions, paranoia and
general low self esteem, you will fit right in, between Rowland and
Sarah.

Not 2002, that was way before then, like 1996

It's just passed my 5th anniversary since first posting here.

I don't know. Is he still around? I may have downloaded some of his headers
at one time, but I never read the bodies.

Unfortunately Rowland lied when he said he created UPSD. It was actually
Rahael Munns.

Liar, liar, trews on fire.
