1) Is that hard to believe? Yahoo only incorporated in 1995, there were start-ups before that. Unfortunately, I can't find DNS records to back this up - FFN dom

1) Is that hard to believe? Yahoo only incorporated in 1995, there were start-ups before that. Unfortunately, I can't find DNS records to back this up - FFN domains seem to be registered with non-Verisign registrar which wouldn't have been arround until 1998 (when third party registrars would have been available). 2) AFF's founders could have already been hosting sites before founding AFF (indeed, it would logically follow that he'd have experience running a site before launching a successful company). EDIT: Here's some proof: Conru.com is registered wih Verisign and on 03-NOV-94 (Andrew Conru is the founder of AFF and you can see the FFN address and name when doing 'whois conru.com'). Yahoo.com is registered 18-JAN-1995 (do "whois '=yahoo.com'" to check). Seems like it's at least plausible (Stanford is a small place).
