I tend to think the Fray originated in 1995, not 1998 as stated.
I joined forum in the spring of 1996, and at that point it was thriving.

==First talk (first/second)==
Suggstion: Technically, BTC News was the SECOND blog to get a White House correspondent and the FIRST to have a White House Correspondent actually ask a question of the President's spokesman. According to the article linked: "The second blogger allowed into the White House briefing room became the first blogger to actually ask press secretary Scott McClellan a question last week. "

My bad for the original misstatement (though, in some sense it's an arguable point)

Thank you [[User:Essjay|Essjay]].  I will endeavor to expand and refine this article as I can, as will others, of course.  Many had their hand in it over at Slate. --[[User:SwingLowSweetDeej|SwingLowSweetDeej]] 13:22, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

== Second talk (falsehood)==
I'm pretty sure this line has been amended to the point of falsehood: "A controversial re-design during Slate's days as a subscription-based service spawned The Mote, but was ultimately returned to a free service after readership of Slate and participation in the Fray dropped significantly."
