Anecdote #407 ~ F T History

This was initially just a neat little idea I had for a content block, but it became something a little more interesting.
As many of you who visit S&T frequently by now probably know, there are two new S&T Fact Team members. This got me thinking: We have a BZP Staff History Topic to keep track of official staff, but what about the "non-comissioned staff" like S&T Fact Team members? They have an added responsibility, and they do put in extra time for BZP, so why not have a place to keep track of the team's status as a whole as well as it's history?
But there was one problem. Sure, it was easy to find the topic that was posted mere hours ago for our two newest members (Great Being #1 and The Infection). It was also easy to find the original list and topic, seeing as that topic is still being used for the S&T Fact Team. But there was a problem. There is one FT Member who slipped under the radar. How could this be? No topic? No definite date? This is unacceptable!
I immediately searched my own PMs, as well as the official topics' list, the S&T Fact Team topic, the Suggestion Box, and even a strenuous search through the November and December topics from 2006 in S&T. Nothing definite could be determined, but I found some brackets: It was in between November 16th and December 30th. But when in those six months?
I then PM'd the chap, as I figured that he might have some PM or such saying the actual date. Nothing (except, that is, about the same minimum and maximum as I had discovered). So, unless bonesiii or an Admin has hidden away some hidden proof of purchase, there will forever remain a gap in our knowledge of when that one S&T Staff Member (the first non-original) joined the team.
Forevermore, he will be remembered (among other things) as the Stealth S&T FT: Utopia.
