And it still has a place in our digital world, despite the incursions of social networks. Thanks for all you do Mark, and I wish you a long and healthy life!😊

The British-cars mailing list was already going strong, an offshoot from https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__rec.autos&d=DwIDaQ&c=euGZstcaTDllvimEN8b7jXrwqOf-v5A_CdpgnVfiiMM&r=HL4LAX-jeuoWNeqz1u1ryqDHfrhQ38xO3ECYGpjCniQ&m=DmrhLEJlDu90RAvR6tldBQN_6yWgp8VPEhzRgJDqLTc&s=VciQ7XGpxqrQv5ROFuIycPvNlEOIgyT00aLPBw4ZO7E&e= Usenet group.  Dale Cook, Jim Muller, then me. https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__Team.net&d=DwIDaQ&c=euGZstcaTDllvimEN8b7jXrwqOf-v5A_CdpgnVfiiMM&r=HL4LAX-jeuoWNeqz1u1ryqDHfrhQ38xO3ECYGpjCniQ&m=DmrhLEJlDu90RAvR6tldBQN_6yWgp8VPEhzRgJDqLTc&s=XdkGO3iYvi_IOMk9PO-6l6qZU3GGznTjT8tW2-S1pHY&e= 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.

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.
