 That is the same usenet post that I found.  The release date actually
 depends if the dates are listed in UTC or not - The actual Date: header
 in the usenet post says "22 Nov 1994 19:14:59 -0800" (click "show
 options" then "show original")
 
 Given the paragraph above the timeline states "Time tolerance +/- 6
 months" I wasn't sure that 8 hours made that much difference :)

 I used it because the source of the announcements were usenet - and the
 description of USE is "usenet announcement".  It wasn't exactly clear to
 me if I should use USE or FBD for these as they are official
 announcements from FreeBSD Project, but were found opn usenet.  Use
 whatever you feel is best in this case.
 
 Thanks for looking at this,
