What are some notable events in Usenet history?

Following, in no particular order. These are correct, to the best of my knowledge, but I'd appreciate hearing of any errors that might be present, and will make changes accordingly. Corrections can be sent to fqa297@yak.net . Google Groups also has a Usenet Timeline which shows a large number of significant events since 1981.

... More on the way.
