From The Stick Jock’s Dictionary - A closed e-mail list belonging to the Chosen.

Asylus Says

I originally created this at Apple, while I was a member of other group emails for other reasons. I used the same website which was eventually absorbed by Yahoogroups. About this time though, I changed jobs and had no access as an Administrator and only certain members, like Rand had limited access. As a result we needed to create another Torchnet or gain full control of the one we had. I was not around when this was resolved, but currently Drakknar and I share Admin rights in case something happens to one of us. Additionally many of the other senior Torches have moderator rights as well.

The name 'Torchnet' derived from Torch Press, the many (now lost) articles which I would write about events that transpired around us.
