It's a good list, but many things are way out of order.

Unfortunately, I don't have the time to participate very actively in
getting it straightened out right now....

Let me suggest that you try to preface each item in the list with a
date of at least a year, and a year/month if possible.

A couple to get you started:

* monthly postings of newsgroups -- pre 1981
* monthly postings of FYI stuff about 1984
* moderated groups -- late 1986 (after summer Usenix in Atlanta)
* checkgroups -- late 1986
* grand renaming -- started July 86, ended March 87
* backbone creation, circa 1984
* backbone goes away, 1987
