FML readers will see it on 12/13/12 which is only eight days before that Silver Anniversary. Did you know that those of us who created the FHL -- I guess almost 12 years ago now -- knew each other because of the FML community? So, the Ferret Health List traces its roots back to the Ferret Mailing List! Did you also know that in all of those years the FML has had only two moderators? The creator was Chris Lewis, and then Bill Gruber -- who has been the list owner and moderator for most of the existence of the FML -- took over when Chris wanted to stop being moderator and owner.
