To refer to Usenet as "a service provided by the Internet" probably shows
that you need some more information. Usenet started independently, and
ran predominantly over UUCP links in the early days, long before NNTP
was defined. In my opinion and recollection, the early days of Usenet
and its spectacular growth were primarily due to the efforts of hard-
working key individuals and their friends, who worked to grow Usenet,
site-by-site, connection-by-connection, and tool-by-tool.

I assume that you know about the archive for this mailing list:
