Subject: WINE...WINOS?

I just have to ask one question: what was (is?) discussed on the list
WINE (or is it WINOS?) -- the merits of California Chardonnay v. French
Chablis? Or what?

And, well, maybe I have more than one question. Who
started the list? Why? Who joined? What really was discussed? What
year was it started? Was it really started before S-F Lovers? What
was the *first* list?

This, if I can take a little more time, leads me to a more general question
about lists: how soon after lists became more common did subscribers
begin to think that email was different from other forms of written
communication, with its own developing protocol/etiquette?

Thanks,
