Before it became yahoogroups in 2001 it was eGroups, which IIRC was the originator, not a rebrander. Before eGroups, mailing lists were primarily created and maintained by various interests serving the specific groups that needed them, using MajorDomo or software like it; before web forums existed, when Usenet was still useful to and known by the majority of the minority of people using the internet at all. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
