Actually, it all started right here.  type2 & vintagebus are both children of vanagon@lenti. vanagon@gerry is the vanagon@lenti list after we got thrown off the umn.edu server in 1995 or 6. Search the archives and you’ll find the split. - Yup, there it is.  7/10/96 Note from Gerry Skerbitz. (The actual split was the next day.)
