Origins of b-greek

I'm doing a bit of research on the last ten years of the e-lists for 
a paper to be given on Saturday at the SBL Computer Assisted Research 
Section entitled "Studying the New Testament by Email:  The 
Pleasures, the Pains and the Prospects for the Academic E-Lists".  I 
only joined b-greek myself in 1997 (I think) and there are two 
questions I haven't been able to find the answers to quickly when 
working through the archives.  If anyone happens to know the answers 
to these without looking them up, I'd be really grateful.  Perhaps 
this should be off-list?  

(1)  When did NT-Greek become b-greek?

(2) When I joined b-greek it already had the policy about focusing on 
issues connected with Greek language rather than, more broadly, the 
exegesis of the New Testament.  A look at the early years of the 
archives makes it clear that originally a variety of topics were 
discussed.  At what stage did the policy change?  Was the change 
driven by the an excessive number of posts or by something else?

Many thanks for your help
Mark
