RTP-area local music and culture

[Ross Grady <ross AT rossgrady.org>]

Welp, today I learned that newsguy.com still exists and is still maintaining 
its listserv <-> usenet gateway. I configured that, what, 20 years ago?

What Matt (and I) is/are referring to is the fact that since ~1994 ch-scene 
has been mirrored, badly, to alt.music.chapel-hill, which is a thing called a 
Usenet group. You can go read the wikipedia article about that if you want to.

For a while after The Web became a thing, there was this company called 
Dejanews that provided access to Usenet groups on the web, and had a pretty 
comprehensive archive. At some point Google bought them and folded them into 
Google Groups, which is why this page exists: 
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/alt.music.chapel-hill

It is absolutely fitting that some posts from this mailing list don't seem to 
transit over to the newsgroup because IT WAS ALWAYS THUS even though there 
was never any good reason for it.
