[sumo] A Happy Hatsubasho! to you all.

[Walker, Jay CTR NHRC]

The Sumo Mailing List started on May 26, 1993.  So our 15th anniversary
is a few months away.  I'm not sure if Peter May was the actual one who
started it, but he was one of the key people in getting it launched.  I
believe (though not sure) that it soon migrated to North Carolina State
with Chris Basten as the administrator for quite a few years.

The archives (http://www.banzuke.com/ArchiveIndex.html) show the oldest
month to be May 1994.  In looking at the list of contributors on the
very first page, the only name I recognized was Chris Basten, who
started the SML, I think (could be wrong about that, though).  So we
would be in the 14th year right now, if these records are complete.
