Description

This article is from the Hofstadter and GEB FAQ, by TANAKA Tomoyuki tanaka@cs.indiana.edu with numerous contributions by others.

1. What is about?

the one-line description supplied at the newsgroup's creation was
"Douglas Hofstadter and Godel, Escher, Bach".

read the newsgroup from your news server: news:alt.fan.hofstadter

read the newsgroup from DejaNews:
http://www.deja.com/=dnc/dnquery.xp?QRY=alt.fan.hofstadter

i would guess the newsgroup has been around since the early
1980s. [info on the newsgroup's early history here if poss.]

when was this RFD written?
