For anybody interested just go to Google Groups, and type in alt.adoption
and then Burning Man for a while bunch of posts and threads on the subject.
A quick perusal of the plethora posts (in the hundreds) shows that the
thing went on until December--8 freaking months, though things don't seem to
have heated up until August 1998.

To be honest, I've had about enough of this insanity. Let's talk about
something normal. I'd welcome Jean and Mike back over this.

Here it the original post that started it all. Note the date April 29,
1998.
