AudiogoN Inception Date?

Panning through old threads, I noticed a few members as early as late 98/early 99.

Emailed service a while back no answer, figured if anyone should know, they would.

When did all this start and who was the first poster(s)?

I think that it was actually around 1998, but I was also visiting the site for a while before I joined. Where is the moderator?

It was originally intended to be a hang out site for male nurses with slight to moderate speech impediments. David99 (male nurse with clicking jaw syndrome) mentioned picking up a pair of B&W 805's and the rest is history.

David99 and I both forgot to mention that the site's first name was AudioNoggin, which was soon shortened to AudioNog. Einar, one of the site's originators who's name was really Arnie, then changed it to AudioGon (for obvious reasons;-).
