1995 for me.  I discovered misc.transport.road when I was in grad school and followed it for years afterwards.  I had never heard of USENET or newsgroups, but there it was...a newsgroup after my own heart.  A newsgroup for roadgeeks.

Thank goodness for GSV, despite the new interface looking like you-know-what.  At least I can see signs from my bedroom without actually having to go there.
