You make it "strict", as you say, and you get no users, for the users
will prefer to remain at Twitter and Facebook. And without users, your
Usenet II would be a beautiful empty carcass, devoid of any value.

Now, I you were talking about making a new Usenet based on UUCP on
dial-up, WITHOUT Internet and without TCP/IP, that could attract some
hundred geeks to get it going... and no one else. So, do you have a POTS 
line at hand, and a modem?

So either way, it's a no go.
