Are you saying this was when the original gauntlet was thrown down? Well, never let it be said that we don't know how to respond to a challenge. He wanted less Dead talk? Looks like he got his wish, for the torrent of entirely non-Dead garbage that was soon to leave the Forum awash in juvenile innuendo, overtly sexual advances, outright hostility and anti-French sentiment surely was right up his alley.

Yes, up his alley. Be careful what you wish for.

That was exactly my reason for the posting reference. It may be the first public mention of a Grateful Dead collection in the Internet Archive.The date of the actual collections creation is still outside my knowledge.
It may have been started in May 2006 . I hope someone has hard data about it. Reviewing the files and postings suggest that date. It would be interesting to know who worked on the original set-up. I am also interested if any of the early posters remain to this day. And I am also wondering where my car keys are.

Does anyone have any thing firm from the early days?
