I guess nobody else from back then has stuck around. I was kind of surprised
to see that.

Yeah, I noticed that. The archives also can't account for lurkers since they
don't keep track of e-mail addresses that subscribe but don't post. Oh, well.
It's just for fun anyway, so it's not a serious problem.

No she's not. My first post was September 18, 1996. She didn't post until
November 8. Besides, we're both just using dml@bleazard.net now. We've
shared e-mail addresses in the past as well (janor@ican.net and
janor@home.com), so I'm probably getting credit for about half of her posts
over the years.
Since all of our e-mail goes through one inbox, I figured it was more
efficient to just get one copy of all the DML messages and let my server turn
them in to two copies after downloading them. It's a small gain, but it was
easy to implement. Unfortunately it also breaks the stats in a different way
(sorry).
