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.

<p>As I recall, Dale Cook of Apollo Computers & MGB owner
started the original British car mail list in 1987. He started by
sending emails to those of us who were posting on rec.autos and
asking us if we wanted to join the email list he was creating.
Soon to be named SOL, standing for Scions of Lucas. The history of
the group from its earliest email list roots goes back about 34
years, about 4 years before team.net</p>
