Anyone knows who started pprune?

From the website....

PPRuNe, otherwise known as the Professional Pilots RUmour NEtwork started 10 years ago as a sideline hobby for founder and airline pilot Danny Fyne. What started as a group of dedicated UK and European pilots who would post a few hundred messages a month, has grown into the premier global forum where professional pilots and those in the airline industry communicate through over 2000 posts per day.

With over 110,000 registered members out of nearly 300,000 readers globally, in as many countries as there are in the world, PPRuNe has been recognized and written about in many famous publications. Some of the publications that have quoted or written about PPRuNe include: The Wall Street Journal, The Financial Times, The Times, The New York Times, The Daily Telegraph, Flyer Magazine, Pilot Magazine and Condé Nast Magazine, to mention just a few. PPRuNe has also been covered by CNN, the BBC plus a host of other TV and Radio stations around the world, too many to mention here.
Why do I PPRuNe? All the reasons stated above...It’s also a fascinating online community. Could you imagine getting so many pilots, engineers, beancounters, cabin crew, managers, owners, enthusiasts, controllers etc etc all in one place in the "real" world?!?
