Dang, Jabba, I had totally forgotten about cookies. Wow, that does go back
a long time.
Don't forget Kathy and the MBCA list, too - there was some parallel action
that took place as a result of that debacle as well...

i'd guess 98 or 99, but someone like
little tommy would remember such a
thing.
to sum it up briefly as i understand it: in the
beginning, there was dave
realtime and esa ahola. figure about 95ish. a
dominant figure on the list
was cookies and he really pissed off a ton of people
everyday. ritter and
easley then started their own list to be "kinder and
gentler" and cookies
free, maybe about 96 or 97. one stuart steele was
doing the "listmom" thing
for ritter/easley and he and ritter undertook basically
what amounted to
purges of all dissidents. the mbz.org lists began as
a reaction to those
purges, beginning with "banned" as a safe haven for
mercedesphiles who had
been purged from ritter/easley. as ritter/easley
purported to be kinder and
gentler, banned went out of its way to be exactly the
opposite so while it
did contain tech information, it was not a fit forum for
many who wished to
participate in an alternative tech list. so richard
sexton and i decided
that if dr booth as willing to participate in the proposed
diesel list, we'd
run out a bunch of more democratic and open lists via
mbz.org
then richard and mbz.org had one final nuclear meltdown and
lists
disappeared, but kaleb took the initiative and stepped up
to keep them alive
(originally while richard brought the lists back up, but
now permanently)
and that is where we are today.

marshall is historically the only reason this
list exists. the whole
mbz.org list system (apart from banned) was
contingent upon marshall's
agreed participation. had marhall said
"no", the plan was to never
start
the diesel list.
just a bit of old school trivia for those of
you who might still care
