Read <2lvpa6$jc...@Mercury.mcs.com> (from Jorn Barger in 1994), do a little research, find <2cgc8e$g5...@Notwerk.mcs.com> (again Jorn) and learn that a.a-a was born in September 1993. Since some news-admins were not happy with it's creation it took some time to travel trough the system, i.e. to become visible on most servers. So I believe that the start of the archive in Google (Deja) actually does mark a good starting point: it's the second Novembver 1993. Depending on your news server you may have been able to see the group a couple of weeks earlier.
