For real history (and more possibility of embarrassment), you
have to go to Usenet postings.  I used Google to track down
the earliest post by each of Andrew's list in a Perl-related
newsgroup.  Some of the addresses have changed over the years,
so I hope I haven't misattributed posts by people who happened
to share a name:
