So, I've been a subscriber to this list, and many others, since 1995, 
when I got my first modem. The server at tat time was a Dell Power Edge 
for the archives.

One thing caught my eye was that Ned Ludd hailed from Santa Rosa. It's 
like Deja News, all over again!

The Deja News Research Service was an archive of messages posted to 
Usenet discussion groups, started in March 1995 by Steve Madere in 
Austin, Texas. Its search engine capabilities won the service acclaim, 
generated controversy, and significantly changed the perceived nature of 
online discussion.

This archive was acquired by Google in 2001 - Google Groups.
