The DistList now completes its 23rd year of operation.  This is
measured in "DistList years" as the annual publication cycle
normally begins with the AIC Annual Meeting (because that's where
the DistList was first announced, back in 1987). If you're curious
about any of the history, see

For those who find such things interesting, the DistList now
comprises more than 10,004 people from at least 92 countries.
