The venerable rec.gambling.blackjack (r.g.b.) started way back in the 1990s, soon after the Internet was opened to the civilians (the act of the Bill Clinton Administration, specifically the work of Vice President Al Gore).
There are countless threads here — I am referring to the pages saved by Google Groups. Evidently, it is impossible to keep tabs of everything written in this public forum. This is an attempt to create an index of what’s worthy in the Google group dedicated to the casino game of blackjack. Usually, the root URL is:
https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=en#!forum/rec.gambling.blackjack
I will be very selective in my writing. I am also aware that this resource will be updated timely. The index of r.g.l. is in no particular order, nor is it in alphabetical order. It is based on the first index page of Google Groups as of July 30, 2018, 7 PM U.S.E.S.T.

• The Best Blackjack Basic Strategy
• Learning the basic strategy is considered a very difficult process by many. The problem is caused by the wrong learning methods. There are many tutorials (printed books, ebooks, Web pages) that stress learning by following spreadsheet-like charts/tables. The methods rely heavily on mechanical memorizing.
