I was Googling on my own name, as one does (with the help of Google Alert), and discovered to my surprise that I was the one who made the first Usenet post referencing the Three Laws of Robotics. At least according to this web page: http://fusionanomaly.net/threelawsofrobotics.html (scroll to the bottom of the page).

Remember the days when you had to type a newspaper story in yourself in order to make it appear on the Net? Kids these days, with their Google News and their "copy'n'paste" and their crazy clothes, they don't know what it was like back then!

(Pronounced, I suppose, "fbangrst fattndom.")
