OT 20 Year Usenet Timeline

"Google has fully integrated the past 20 years of Usenet archives
into Google Groups, which now offers access to more than
800 million messages dating back to 1981.

This is by far the most complete collection of Usenet articles
ever assembled and a fascinating first-hand historical account.

We compiled some especially memorable articles and threads
in the timeline below.

For example, read Tim Berners-Lee's announcement
of what became the World Wide Web
or Linus Torvalds' post about his "pet project"."

Very interesting reading.
Search found posts by Randy Suess - Ward Christianson and some old posts
copied from BBS which preceded Usenet.
Thanks.

Thanks or Good Luck,
There may be humor in this post, and,
Naturally, you will not sue,
should things get worse after this,
