I tend to agree. I don't think efforts like this would drive away usenet
posters who have stayed here all along. This tool may drive people who
are searching for a distraction-free and algorithm-free platform to post
on that likely has zero bots. And, maybe, just maybe, people may be
drawn to usenet from this new platform.

I'm only optimistic.
