this day 30 years ago Team.Net came into being. The British-cars
mailing list was already going strong, an offshoot from rec.autos
Usenet group. Dale Cook, Jim Muller, then me. Team.net went from
2 lists at the beginning, autox and british-cars, and exploded
into nearly 70 different lists with something like 15,000
individuals subscribed at its peak. For a while it was pretty
much the only game in town. As I recall, when I attended the SCCA
Solo II Nationals 25th Anniversary event, something like 2/3rds of
the 1,000+ entrants were on the autox list.

And it amazes me that with such a scatterbrained procrastinator
like me behind the curtain it is still on the air. It is a lot
quieter these days, much better software handle many of the
janitorial tasks automatically. Back in the beginning, I had to
do *everything* by hand, so to speak. Subscribes, unsubscribes,
errors, I was spending 10, 15, 20 hours a week maintaining the
server. The first server had a 100 MHz processor. Things have
changed. Back then just having a fast network connection at a
residence was rare and expensive. Good old DSL. I remember that
time when my service provider went belly up, and team net was off
the air for 11 days straight. I don't miss those days at all.

Anyway, happy birthday to those of you still here. I hope I can
continue to provide a useful service for years to come.
