That's the nice thing about newsgroups. I find it
odd that more people don't use public newsgroups. They
let Facebook control their lives. They let Reddit require
membership and "vote" their posts up or down. And
in the Mozilla group or Microsoft forums it's similar:
Privately owned, quasi-marketing forums that filter
minority opinions. Yet people somehow prefer that
humiliation to the "public square" of usenet.

I suspect that far too many have no idea that Usenet even exists,
let alone know what it is, or how to access it.



Ditto to all three of those statements. Microsoft, by moving all its
forum to their web site, has done a great job of killing Usenet.
