So I used to be very active on Usenet, comp.arch and comp.unix.wizards
were my jam. soc.singles, yeah, hung out there and I was not well
loved for my views.
I don't think I've been on usenet since the 1990's because it just
turned into a cesspool of crap. Sort of Facebook but text.
Are you saying there is still some decent value in Usenet or are you
hanging on just because?
