Retreat from Usenet

[thedarkages]

I remember the old days, late '80s to mid '90s, when posting to Usenet was a reasonable way of getting a question answered. Boy, is it bleak out there now. Spam and kooks as far as the eye can see.

And now, what do you have to do? Google for an infinite number of petty little PHP web forums, each one of which requires its own tedious registration?

It's enough to send me back to the (shudder) library.
