Not just ISPs, either.

Many small businesses have two connections to the Internet and a router
that splits the traffic. A decent load balancing/bonding router costs
less than $1500.

I doubt it. Peering arrangements have *always* been completely secret
unless the peering was between public institutions.

Back in the days before SMTP, email addresses showed the peering. For
example, my 'bang path' was

...!apple!ucsc!ucscb!kreme

which meant "First, you have to get to Apple. From there, Apple will
route the email to the University of California at Santa Cruz, which
will send it to the machine named ucscb, which will route it to the user
'kreme'. Apple and UCSC were peers.

Someone at, say, Dartmouth, would have to send an email to me with and
address something like:

athene!dartmouth!apple!ucsc!ucscb!kreme

while someone at Harvard might have to do something like

apollo!harvard!mit!ucb!apple!ucsc!ucscb!kreme

So, not only did you need to know someone's address, but you had to
manually specify the route.

If one of the machines (or more) was connecting via UUCP, email could
take days. Sometimes many days. Sometimes more days than putting a stamp
on a letter and dropping it in a mailbox.

to have a full routing table from each provider so your router can

Memory's become cheaper, but the number of prefixes has grown.  Heh.

It's been a long time since I set one up. As I recall you had to do some
funky stuff to get dual fixed IPs to work on the servers, but it wasn't
bad. The bonding was pretty much plug and play, but we had to tweek it
to load balance properly since one connection was twice as fast as the
other.

It was not seamless on the user end if one connection went down, but it
was close enough. You would lose ssh connections if they'd been made
over the connection that died, but this didn't happen often.

We did lose both connections when a construction crew cut a bundle of
fibre that contained for our provider's cables.

You're just not getting it.  We're in the state we're in because Usenet 
was abandoned and the greedy bastards were allowed to move into the 
neighborhood.  It wasn't enough for them that *I* paid for my connection 
and *you* paid for your connection, now they wanted to be paid *again* 
to connect our connections, which was *supposed* to be a given for the 
Internet.  And even *that* isn't enough, because a CDN, which improves 
the network for everyone involved, is also something the middle man 
benefits from but refuses to pay for, and may outright refuse to host if 
in means they can charge more for transit.

So what I would "rather have" is an Internet that doesn't screw people 
coming and going and standing still.  Your false dichotomy is rejected 
completely; to even propose it makes you sound like a shill.

I'm not ignoring it.  It's irrelevant given the realities of what Usenet

As I've said, you'll need to take this up with the IETF.  Example -

http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-usefor-useage-01

And a bit of helpful guidance -

http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfcfaq.html

If you don't resolve this first, propagation of your desired content will
suck, big time.  Arts can, among other parameters, be rejected by size, and
each server can be set to a specific limit independently.

And, even if you do succeed in revising the protocol, that's no guarantee
anyone will impliment it.  "Make it stronger" involves a significant amount
of money - the 14TB+ of daily crap isn't going away, and you want to pile
yet more - who will be paying for that?  The same people paying for the
current load, you say?  Nope - a good number of them are already ignoring
it.

Thus, there's the very real possibility your content will wind up on a mere
handful of hosts, like Altopia.  If it can get there in the first place.

Since you appear not enamored with Google (centralized control of data),
this cold, hard fact should give you pause...

You and your brain should take a good, hard look at all the consolidation
in vendors, including CDNs, going on right now.  Speaking of (not) cool.

Nobody's going to pay you to create yet more problems.

And - hard as it is to believe - I'm talking about who pays for the
additional resources you want to eat.  How could you possibly ignore
that, to say nothing of confusing it with what you might get paid?

The fact that the amount of abuse has grown to be in the vicinity of the
load you'd like to dump on Usenet does not in any way whatsoever justify
it, nor does it render it anything other the abuse it actually is, period.

To be 100% clear, "it" immediately above includes your intended traffic.

If you don't want to be an abuser, you must first get the protocol
revised to include your intended use of it.

> but the ISPs killed it.

Why should they devote any of their time, money, and resources to
handling daily terabyte loads of abusive, inappropiate content?

Yea, some of them filter out most of the junk, but others, lacking
the modest expertise required to even do that, just throw out the
baby with the bath water.

> As you well know, even without them, the traffic keeps going up . . .

And this justifies nothing, at all.

The "problem" is that I don't have/want a Google account, and I'm fairly 
certain they don't allow "Anyone" to have one (e.g., age restrictions 
and the like).  I say my privacy has already been raped enough.  Can I 
still post on YouTube?

There's no need to take it up with anyone.  As it exists today, Usenet 
is operating as a CDN.  It could be nicer and more efficient at that if 
the standards were changed, but my point is that you weren't complaining 
about the standards, but the use of Usenet for anything other than text 
discussions.

And that would be foolish, because if the content is "desired" then it 
is in the best interest of the people running the server to let it do 
its job and distribute it.  Sounds to me like your real argument is that 
peering is done poorly for NNTP networks, which wouldn't surprise me at 
this point.

> Thus, there's the very real possibility your content will wind up on a mere

Good.  If it's not "content" that anyone is interested it, it 
*shouldn't* be widely distributed.

As you can see, it does exactly the opposite.  Adjust your expectations.

As noted at the top of my response, there's definitely a lot of "not 
cool" happening on the Internet these days.  Usenet could be revamped to 
help fix that, but *some* people are hung up on it being viewed through 
tools like tin.

> And - hard as it is to believe - I'm talking about who pays for the

Because, as I've stated a number of times, a CDN *reduces* resources 
usage.  That's why big companies will pay to install their proprietary 
versions.  If anyone is confused and ignoring facts, it is you.

What is illuminating about taking part of a discussion from over a 
decade ago completely out of context?  Never mind the crappy web 
interface used to display it!  Apparently what I was disagreeing with 
was the desire to solve problems of project mismanagement by adding 
bloat to the technology.  I'd argue the same thing today, and 
essentially have when discussing open source projects like tin; I say 
the mindset of the project needs to be addressed, and you say I should 
just shut up and submit some code that is to your liking.

> Gosh.  At this point I'm feeling quite like Mr Simmons did 13+ years ago.

Let's hope you're at least 13 years younger than him, then.

> The fact that the amount of abuse has grown to be in the vicinity of the

Stop seeing only what Usenet is today (or, really, 1994 or whenever it 
was that tin was a popular newsreader).  The solution to what you call 
abuse is exactly the same as it was for P2P networks: start using what 
you have for *legitimate* purposes!  I have already given one, 
podcasting, that seems like it is ideally suited to be on a CDN like 
Usenet.  There are countless others, but they're all likely to be 
smothered in the crib so long as people like you maintain a "tin vs. 
abuse" dichotomy.

> If you don't want to be an abuser, you must first get the protocol
> revised to include your intended use of it.

Nope.  The protocol seems quite able to do what people want.  A bit more 
overhead than might be necessary to do it, but all backwards-compatible 
systems suffer from similar cruft.

> > but the ISPs killed it.
> 
> Why should they devote any of their time, money, and resources to

If their users are requesting that content, they're *already* devoting 
their operation to doing that.  The only question is whether or not 
having it cached locally is more or less efficient than going upstream 
for every request.  All evidence, including what you have presented, 
indicate that it is more efficient.  All that's really at stake here is 
whether or not the battle is won by a mishmash of incompatible, 
proprietary servers, or something open like Usenet.  Call me a dreamer, 
but I'm still voting for open.

Not saying it's their policy, but one reason to do so would be a sound 
engineering (or any design discipline) reason: simplify.[1]

Carrying legacy support "forever" seems supportive to customers but in 
the long term harms them by bloating code, increasing complexity and 
test requirements.

Apple have a history of leading abandonment.  Floppies were abandoned 
and now CD/DVD readers are being abandoned.

Hard disks are in transition too as SSD size grows and costs become 
economical.  With Apple's lead to a PCIe lane to the SSD, they are 
getting stunningly fast.  (Mac Pro).

Apple sliced flash out of the mobile segment by brutal pruning and in 
response sites are using more HTML5.  Flash is on a slow march to the 
graveyard and not many people will bemoan the loss.

Lopping off POP may be too drastic at present but 2nd classing it for a 
while will help move people to IMAP.  At some point Apple may feel 
justified in lopping it off and as usual will point out the benefits 
(with appropriate RDF) and otherwise shrug off the howls of protest.

'til then or other compelling reason, I'll POP.

(I may retry IMAP sometime soon to see if Gmail behaviour wrt to Apple 
Mail has improved - I was really not happy with it last time around.)

The MacBook Air also uses a PCIe SSD, and so do the Mac Book Pros.

Gmail is not IMAP. It is sort of kind of IMAP compatible. Sort of.

Then I probably won't bother retrying it.  Otherwise POP from gmail 
works fine as does same from my ISP e-mail.

Thanks for that.  I'm on the fence about even trying it though.  The 
article really highlights what a finicky mess the Apple Mail | GMail 
relationship is.  Appears to be Google's fault.

Meh. Take that with a grain of salt. GMail in Apple Mail works just fine
for me - on several devices/computers. Always has.

Not me.  I recall an issue with
- e-mails appearing in 2 folders.
- not being marked read when accessed from other devices.

That was last tried a couple years ago, so as I said above I'm sort of 
willing to try it out again.  Just not much priority when POP is doing 
the job just fine and with no fuss.

Yup. Still happening to me, except that messages show up in /3/
folders, maybe because I use a rule to move certain messages to a local
folder. Even after they are moved, they show up in the "All Mail" and
"Important" folders and have to be read in all three to get rid of the
new mail marker.

Also, it is very difficult to delete messages from the Spam folder.
Previously deleted messages continue to reappear in that folder for
weeks.

Count me as another happy POP user.

That particular behavior seems to have gone away in the last week or 
two, for me anyway. Presumably gmail did a bit of a tweak to their IMAP 
implementation.

The thing here is, some people (well, at least me, and I doubt I'm
the only one) would like to look over a user agent's configuration
options without having to enter a bogus username and password first,
and then waiting for the authentication to time out and fail.  Not
to mention some versions of Apple's Mail require more of a hack than
just that.

Regarding another question downstream in this thread, I'm sure Apple
wants it all to "just work," but they've carried this a bit too far.
