off-by-one problem? I've been consistent for 24+ years in my reportage never saying "Anniversary" and instead saying "Annual" to avoid this problem, but no, I guess I'm the Ivy league

is broken, and besides I don't remember there being any decisive "it's the third one" stuff in it anyway... more thorough searches performed through
Stranger archives for half the day yesterday resulted in no discovery. why do you so strongly believe it was first in 1996? any sources besides bad
126:
hey, DBB the club was around since 1996 or so, you can talk about 1995 for inklings, THE "SHOP"?, 1996 when this random user drew the club's colors, and lives his life since fighting lies? no RACE UNTIL 1997. that webpage is all dismissed as lies? notice, one in '97 would be 20 in 96, right???

that support "1995". On the other hand, a random
Knowledge (XXG) user who says "I remember it being 1997". Do you understand why this is not going to work the way you want it to? (Also, please sign your messages on talk pages by adding a row of four tildes.)
169:
but then there's still the questioning of me as a source bullshit there... Ben didn't have a yellow jersey in 1997, so who did? NO ONE, can you show me a -SINGLE SOURCE- that claims it first happened in 1996, and not just cluelessness with your

Do you have any published sources? Can you point to indie newspapers from back then, talking about the DBD? Those mostly have online archives now.
