Looks like a star topology

How can you look at a portion of the network, a partial sketch of 3
servers amongst thousands, and declare this to be a star network?
Maybe you should have read instead of just looking at pictures:


As I stated in the beginning of your onslaught:

A mesh is just a form of a star network.

Sheesh, now you are trying to backpeddle! Read he
http://www.myreader.co.uk/msg/12534.aspx

"Although the UK Network may once have been a star network, this is no
longer the case. There are many news servers each of which has multiple
connections to others forming a mesh-like network. There are no central
sites in a position to control what comes in and out of the network as a
whole."

It's the same thing worldwide, trying to imply that the Usenet is a star
network in an effort to bolster your claim that the MS servers are a
mandatory and necessary "hub" in the distribution of the microsoft.*
hierarchy is lame to say the least!

I'm done with this thread, good bye!

You're right, you should because you twisted words to suit whatever
purpose you had here.

To indicate that me referencing a picture of "three" nodes in a usenet
network is not representative of the "thousands" of nodes in the network
is ludicrous and a lame attempt of trolling for an nonsense argument.

The above does not change the fact that a node relative to itself operates
like a star and as I stated in my last post, you have no control of what
your nodes and points off your server will do. In other words, you don't
need to go to a main hub to get your feeds.
That still doesn't eliminate the idea each node itself operates as a star.

What? You think you can just post in UK node and it will magically appear
in some far distance USA node without some form of organized
uplink/downlink transport system? Are you broadcasting by posting the
article at different servers crossing your fingers that at least ONE will
make and the others will by rejected as DUPES?

And again, unless you UNDERSTAND the intricacies of developing hosting
software especially for all hosting operationally needs when it comes to
distribution, then yes, you should say good bye and shut up.

And you sell nntp software? For the sake of your customers I hope that your
tech support knows more about newsgroups than you do because you don't know
wtf you are talking about! Anyone reading this thread will see that you
haven't got a clue and they will surely pass on your software offering!
You've indentified yourself as working for a certain company any you have
posted links to your company in this thread, by doing so you have attached
your company to the discussion. After reading this thread and seeing how
you completely misunderstand Usenet I can say without any hesitation that I
would never purchase your software! Nice job you clueless moron!
