Here's what I wrote on the history:

* It was founded on Nov. 11, 1995 by Gunther Schleinkofer.  It met in
* his small abode in Altadena at 481 Sacramento St.  Attendance was only
* a few to several people in his small living room.  There was no
* program.  People just sat and talked.  Gunther was the leader.
* 
* Then in early 1998?, the group moved it's meetings to Fuller Theological
* Seminary at the invitation from IT people at Fuller, one of whom was

Tom didn't show up until about the time we moved to Fuller.  Thus he
entered the scene about 2 years after it was founded and is no more a
founding member than I am.  I guess the "living room" was actually a
converted garage.  So if anyone is to be declared a founding member
it's Gunther.

As I recall, Tom wanted to assume a leadership role from the start but
the webmaster (and other leader), Craig Zeller opposed him.  Thus Tom
only took a leadership role after Craig Zeller deserted us and closed
down the mailing list without proper notice.
