Looking for some reading material from the early days...

[cled]

Hi, I'm obviously a bit new here, but I would like to do a bit of reading on the early days of bitcoin.  If someone would be so kind as to direct me to some of Satoshi's early posts and writings I would be very grateful. 

Also, does anyone know if writing a new topic is the only way to get out of newbie jail or if replying to a post works as well.  It doesn't seem to be clearly indicated in the rules.  If it's ok to just reply instead of making a spammy new topic that might be helpful to indicate!

Thanks!
