Usenet used to be so great. I relied on it more than the web. Now, most of us can't get it through our ISPs and I doubt many would want it, so many spammers have so thoroughly ruined it. Too bad. If there is one thing I'd like to be able to do someday, it'd be to download all the great FAQs from the usenet of old, especially the *.gun.* FAQs.
