I was searching through rec.models.scale (old modeling newsgroup) and found the first post mentioning Armorama. This was almost four years ago made by none other than Jim Starkweather himself.

Before I even scrolled down to see your post in this thread Jim, I copied that same exact line so I could paste here to write off it. No need now.

Once upon a time, one member was able to pull up old cached web pages and had the original (early 2002) screen shot of the forum page.
