I suppose I was (as many people on the internet have a bad habit of
doing) being more caustic than was strictly necessary.  I don't really
forsee the death of usenet anytime soon, I just don't think the idea of
it evolving is necessarily bad.  I don't really have alot of vested
interest one way or the other, to be honest, and I'm perfectly happy
with the way it is.

I just think it's a naive view to presume it never will change, because
change is what the internet as a whole was built on.

I think I'll calmly butt out now  ^_^
