Well I can search wikipedia-en-l as far back as

coming up with anything. Running google searches for mentions pre 2006
doesn't turn up anything however use explodes in 2006 which is rather
fast if than jan 2006 use is the first.
I grepped for it in foundation-l, wikien-l and wikipedia-l archives but
found nothing.
BTW, it seems we dropped our archives of intlwiki-l.
Info-de-l, spamtest-l and the odd jason-l and jason2-l lists.
My guess would be anyway that it wasn't on the lists, but in
an IRC chat.
Might even have been by me, since I had used a similar
formulation about the internet as a whole, over a decade
before. But I am certainly not claiming affirmatively to
be the originator, since as others have said, the play on
words is pretty obvious.
