Congratulations to us all, even if a little late.
It makes me wonder, what is the oldest still running mailinglist?
Don't know about *the* oldest, but one that's quite old and still very active is
the TZ mailing list (about timezone rules and their ongoing changes). This is the list
that collects and distributes the data that keeps clocks worldwide showing the correct
local time, at least when politicians give more than a few days' notice of a change.
The first message on that list is from Arthur Olson, Mon, 24 Nov 86 19:58:12 EST. Though
retired now he still occasionally contributes.
