N.B. The discussion thread about this one is "Is there a historical list of TalkBoard members? (and discussion of History thread)"

Comments and discussion is best carried out in that thread. Posts with discussion content, suggestions etc. have been moved to that thread.

I'll remove this post in the future to preserve the historical intent of this thread. The link to the discussion thread has been added to the wiki.

Thank you.
