My profile shows 12/31/01 but as I recall we had to Re-join about that time. I note good number with that same date & some others as 01/01/02, a day later. I know that I started out on internet dial-up prior to my retirement in Aug of '99 but do not now recall just when I joined the doublegun forum or how I even found it.
I do remember the name Marksman, but had not realized until it was pointed out that you were the same person..
