If so, I wonder why they want that URL so bad?

The way I remember it was that I was the first to combine those two terms back in the OffRamp in the DevX newsgroups. Then a while later some guy came around and said he was the first to use it but the dated posts showed he wasn't first in the forums. That was so many years ago now, and as far as I know, the OffRamp was never archived, so its impossible to prove one way or another.... LFS |
