Good morning Mark<br>
<br>
Effort very well done! Although the flow of posts to the Healey list
has decline somewhat it still is enjoyable to receive those that
arrive. Big thanks for this service to Healey owners.<br>

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.

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