Great initiative and idea! While I am = personally not interested in reading USENET that much nowadays, the concept= of providing free, public access to classic Internet services (public USEN= ET, FTP, IRC, finger, etc.) gets all my praise. What happened to free, publ= ic services these days? Everything appears to to be subscriber pay-as-you-g= o based. The commercialization killed the free spirit of Internet we all lo= ved in the 90s.
