[ih] The Backbone Cabal

[Lyndon Nerenberg (VE7TFX/VE6BBM)]

All this UUCP chatter reminded me of the backbone cabal.  The source
of many early Usenet conspiracy theories :-)

Is there an archive of the cabal mailing list anywhere?

I know it was a private list, but there is a *lot* of history in
there about the development of the UUCP mail networks, and Usenet.
It's well over 30 years since that list was active (I would guess).
Certainly the statute of limitations has long expired for any
transgressions contained therein.  Or even if it's too early to
open up, a copy should be permanently archived somewhere, if a
copy still exists.
