[DECtalk] Dectalk hosting history

[Blake Roberts]

Back in 2002 or so, dectalk.com did not exist to my knowledge. All the
Dectalk files   of that time were hosted on a domain owned by someone named
Andre Louis.  Andre decided to delete all of the Dectalk files because he
considered the files a waste of server space, which I think occured sometime
between 2003-2005. Jayson Smith, owner of this list, decided to host
everything on his domain
www.bluegrasspals.com
The Dectalk files were hosted there until, as I recall, Jayson decided to
turn off public access to the files because massive downloading ate up too
much bandwidth. Jayson, correct me if my memory of events if faulty.
www.dectalk.com
Has hosted the files ever since. A lot of the Dectalk files are dated  2003
because that is when they were originally created or uploaded for archiving.

Yes, I heard those. And, by the way, how is it possible that a WHOIS search
said dectalk.com has been around since 2009, when the dates on the files
make it obvious that it's been around since
2002 or so? Was it because the domain name expired, and they had to redo the
whole thing?
