Every month from September, 1995 (when this list began) through May, 1998, a series called "THIS MONTH IN REVIEW" (later re-titled "THE MONTH IN REVIEW") was published. For the years 1995, 1996, and 1997 I also sent a series called "THE YEAR IN REVIEW". I re-sent the entire series to the list in December, 1998 and you can locate both of the above beginning with: http://ricardo.ecn.wfu.edu/~cottrell/ope/archive/9812/0005.html If you want to see the listing of all of the posts in the series rather than beginning with 9/95, go to: http://ricardo.ecn.wfu.edu/~cottrell/ope/archive/9812 I encourage newer members to use these resources as a way of locating topics that we discussed in our early period. The series was ended after May 1998 because it took too much time for me to write each month. There are also some other posts, such as "HAPPY BIRTHDAY, OPE-L!", which were re-printed at the same time and are worth a read. I also encourage those who joined after our first year to read a five part series entitled "CONCEPTION DAY" which begins with [2794 -- old series]: http://ricardo.ecn.wfu.edu/~cottrell/ope/archive/9608/0016.html The above tells the story of how and why OPE-L was founded. A retrospective appears the following year (same date). Of course, none of you would be able to access our archives without the prior efforts of Iwao Kitamura and the continuing efforts of Allin. Thanks again. In solidarity, Jerry
