The DistList now completes its 25th 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 approximately 10,000 people from approximately 98
countries.
