Cool contest…. hmmm, only one left. For the question: “Which DNW Podcast guest was involved with domain names from the earliest date?” do you mean:
a) a guest where the date that they were involved with domains was earlier than any of your other guests,
OR
b) a guest where the domain names they were involved with pre-date domains that other guests were involved with
I’m thinking it’s A), (and then I don’t know the answer off-hand), but if it’s B, then I think I do know the answer…
