Coming from you- the guy that still claims USENET isn't
part of the internet- it's pretty laughable.

USENET is not "part" of the Internet, although many servers
now use Internet connections to move traffic.

Sure it is.
From PC Magazine:
Definition of: Usenet

(USEr NETwork) A public access network on the Internet
that provides user news and group e-mail.

They have it wrong already.

They forgot more about the internet then you'll ever know, Bert.
Sorry.

I'll take my personal experience over something from "PC Magazine"
any day.

Sorry yourself.

Don't make me hurt you, Bert.

*>LOL!<*

"The history of Usenet goes back to 1979, shortly after the
release of V7 Unix with UUCP; Usenet was better. Two Duke
University grad students in North Carolina, Tom Truscott
and Jim Ellis, thought of hooking computers together to
exchange information with the Unix community. Steve Bellovin,
a grad student at the University of North Carolina, put together
the first version of the news software using shell scripts and
installed it on the first two sites: unc and duke. At the
beginning of 1980 the network consisted of those two sites
and phs (at Duke) was described at January to rewrite the
scripts into C programs, but they were never released beyond
unc and duke. Shortly after Steve Daniel did another implantation
in the C programming language for public distribution. Tom Truscott
made further modifications, and this became the "A" news release.

In 1981 at the University of California at Berkeley, grad student
Mark Horton and high school student Matt Glickman rewrote the news
software to add functionality and to cope with the ever increasing
volume of news because "A" news was intended for only a few articles
per group per day. This rewrite was the "B" news version. The first
public release was version 2.1 in 1982; all versions before 2.1
were all considered in beta test. As the Net grew, the news
software was expanded and modified. The last version maintained
and released primarily be Mark was 2.10.1."

Oh, I see you're again grasping at straws, trying to 'cherry-pick'
the details that suit your intentional ignorance again.. *>chuckle<*

That's okay, we don't mind 'educating' you, Robert Frenchu..

That's what the Usenet is for.. *>LOL!<*
