   Some of the most useful lists were local ones covering perhaps one town   
   and were good access to some very knowledgeable people.  I don't think   
   most of these were ever linked to USENET.   
      
   At least some of the regional. i.e. county, ones are moving - perhaps   
   some of the ones closed by ROOTSWEB might reappear as there are areas   
   that ended with no list.
