Evening all,

"The USENET management committee has reconvened and there are green 
shoots of growth in the original, pre-World Wide Web social network.

USENET, or NetNews, is a text-only social discussions forum, or rather a 
set of a great many forums, called "newsgroups," carried by multiple 
servers around the world. Although the original developers closed down 
their instance in 2010, that was just one server out of hundreds, and 
many are still running just fine. It never went away – it's still alive, 
you can get on it for free, and there is a choice of client apps for 
most OSes to help you navigate."

in order to prove that you care, or, indeed, why it should be necessary 
to prove it at all." - Avon, Blake's 7
