There had been an exchange of emails among some of the founding members as much as a month before; however, by 18 July the initial listserv at buphy.edu was definitely in operation. Of the original members at that time, only three are still on the list today (unless some are in deep-lurk mode). This is therefore Conlang Day. -- There is / one art || John Cowan no more / no less || http://www.reutershealth.com to do / all things || http://www.ccil.org/~cowan with art- / lessness \\ -- Piet Hein
