2. PHYS-L started in the early to mid 1980s, not 1996. I was not a "charter
member" but was close (maybe a year or two after it started at the most).
In the early days it was over BitNet, but the email list server appearance
would be recognizable even today. That said, I would not be surprised if
archiving didn't start until 1996, but I don't know or recall that detail.
I have always read the following from an early 1996 post to indicate Phys-L
was new that year.

Hiy All,
This is the very first post to the new Phys-L list, and is just a test to
make sure some on the settings are working.

Rereading it in light of your statement above shows me I assumed too much
here.
Does anyone have Phys-L posts that predate February 1996. If so, I can try
to include them in the current archives once they are sent to me.
Sincerely,
Mark Kimball, Administrator
