This won't be directly helpful in legal research, but it is such a shocking
piece of misinformation propagated by two generally accepted sources that it
might interest many of us an illustration of the need to question
information published on the web.

According to Simba Information Inc.'s Electronic Information Report,
September 2, 2002, "Twenty years ago, when 19-year-old Dan Wagner founded
Dialog ..." Dialog Returns To Document Delivery Roots, InfoPro News on
LexisNexis.

And here all the time I thought it was an AIIP friend of mine, Roger Summit

what Dan Wagner founded was M.A.I.D.
