Actually, usenet can work without the internet. As long as the servers
can connect and exchange messages, it'll work. Remember the old
bulletin boards before everybody jumped on the internet? One computer
dials another over the phone and exchanges messages. It doesn't need
to be over the internet. As long as they know how to talk to each
other, that's what matters.

BTW, please get your attribution marks working. It's kinda confusing
to readers to have to figure out who wrote what. Peace.


----------------------------------------------------------------

I can´t help that with the attribution marks, because sometimes my reader does it and sometimes not. I don´t know how to fix that problem.

And yes the bulletin boards worked like that, but usenet allways was a part of the internet, maybe they sprung from the bbs, but actually the usenet as it is now, was designed as part of the internet.
