Hello all,

This is Nils, the programmer here at Linguist List. With a new fund drive
comes new fun facts! Some of these you may have heard before, but I hope you
learn something new about our mailing list and website. This year is our 30th
anniversary as a mailing list, so our theme for this fund drive is history! 

Keeping with the theme, did you know that the first website was created in
1991, after the founding of the Linguist list? You can still see it here:
http://info.cern.ch/. Our own website was originally created later in 1997
after years of being exclusively a mailing list. As was mentioned in our
retrospective, the first post on our list was sent by our founder Anthony
Aristar on Dec 13, 1990 and is still up here:
https://linguistlist.org/issues/1/1-0/ Check out our earlier post to see more
about it.

Thanks for reading! If you can support the LINGUIST List this year - please
do! Even if only 50% of our readership contributed $5 each we would be really
well off. We hope we help you make it through this difficult time, please help
us make it through, too. I hope not to wake up next year to a new reality
without the LINGUIST List. So please, donate here:
https://funddrive.linguistlist.org/donate/
