I just went back and looked, and it looks like I joined on 7/3/2000 behind many others. The first members were Karen, Paul, then Freckles (Joan). There were a lot of new members in the early days of Pet Talk. I had been coming to see the Dog, Cat and Pet of the Day for a long time, then realized they had started a discussion group and joined immediately! I was lhg0962 way back then.
