Re: Optus' news-server

You mean people still use USENET? ;-)

Some years ago it seemed to have dissapeared into complete agony - and
at least to me appear to be some sort post-apocalyptic no go zone. The
only USENET I look at is when using Google Groups archives pre 2000
(and reminiscing about the good old days)

I imagine it's near absolute entropy has probably lead to sysadmin apathy.
