Wow, usenet brings back memories. Flame wars, religious crusades, thought-provoking posts and insane rantings. I’ve never downloaded files from usenet, cause I already get all the binaries I needed from IRC.

Too bad no local ISP here carries free usenet anymore. But life goes on, and the flame wars has moved on to egroups, then to online forums, then to blogs, and now to social networks.

What about gopher? Now that’s a neat protocol.
