I actually returned to USENET (I was around briefly in 2005 and in the 
90's) because I wanted to be able to discuss with people WITHOUT there 
being a load of graphics loading in the background. As it is, USENET is 
the only place other than IRC and e-mail where constant background 
transfers aren't going on. No matter how fast my Internet connection 
gets (I'm at 50Mbit right now), I'll never get used to the idea that 
communication is impossible without ads, images and other distractions.
