Not sure, but I remember being netnews admin for CMU in '87.
(Grad student slave labor position, mind you, not prestigious.
That was before anyone cared enough about netnews to have a real
staff person take care of it...) I'd guess I first got involved
in Usenet a year or two before that. The oldest thing I can
actually document at the moment is the CMU coke-machine info I posted
in 1989, eg http://homepages.inf.ed.ac.uk/jhb/silly/cokemachine.htm
(another slave-labor position, but at least the loaders got free
coke out of it)
