Subject: Old guard vs New guard

HI Bob and Ed,

Thanks for updating my list.   I definitely believe Bob belongs
in the Old guard list!  For fun we might look at it this way:

  Old guard - started more than 15 years ago.
  New guard - started less than 15 years ago.
 Newcommers - started less than  5 years ago.

This put Ed in the "Old guard"  probably where he belong!

Anyway, just a convention that feels about right to me!


If anyone can help me fill in this chart, it might be a lot of fun.
Feel free to add Names and dates.
