I've long suspected that the early FAQs and
history pages gave Larry
Sanger an exaggerated role because he wrote them himself. It will be
interesting to see if any such conclusion can be drawn from the

dhcp058.246.lvcm.com, which
appears to be Larry.
By the way, the numbers in the revisions, e.g. 979694938, are UNIX
timestamps. That one was 17 Jan 2001, 01:28:58 UTC.
