Too bad Google doesn't go back that far. It would be interesting to see
who really "started all this" in these newsgroups. Of course, I suspect it
was a member of the pro-code crowd - since the FCC started dropping code
years ago, the no-code crowd would have had little reason to even bring the
subject up. The pro-code crowd, on the other hand, started complaining
before the FCC even changed the rules (the rumor of a rule change was
enough).
