X+ Subject: More dates for "calentool"
X+ Status: OR
X+
X+
X+ I don't know about other people who submitted calendar entries, but I know that
X+ a lot of the items in "popcult", among others, are from a long typing session
X+ that I put in a few years ago with a couple of my favorite rock-n-roll
X+ references. I'd be happier, and I imagine that the other people who typed in
X+ other dates at some length would be happier, if credit was given where due.
X+
X+ The enclosed news article lists people who contributed to the 1985 calendar
X+ (which was posted to Usenet); I started with that and added 300-400 dates,
X+ mostly involving pop culture, before re-posting the whole mess later.
X+
X+ Cheers,
X+ Rich Kulawiec
