The above link and this one are a fitting illustration of what has
happened to usenet in the last decade and a half...
"systemy" network engineers out there. I enjoy running DNS, NTP, and
other system-based network services an much as I like configuring
routers. I think running USENET a while back had a lot to do with that.
For the last 2 decades or so I have repeatedly tried to "get into"
usenet. But every time I loose interest and give up. I am not entirely
sure why because it can be a great source of information and to communicate.
It's probably a combination of signal to noise ratio, epic flame wars,
the user interface of many clients and the actual size (information
overload ;-).
But I am glad there exists something beyond "the web".
Greetings,
Jeroen
