Now, while I'm completely prepared for the uber-geeks to do the flame thing as soon as I post this, I just don't understand how it's any better than P2P...? I'm not to proud to take advice from anyone though, as my adventure into the shady non-world of Usenet was prompted by my favourite content provider going offline recently, and the big black hole it's left in my non-social life is starting to get to me! I need content! :) P.S. I've read quite a few guides now, including the one above. Maybe I am a noob!

This whole, "the first rule of usenet is we don't talk about usenet" is horse shit. Content providers are not idiots. Usenet is left alone because your average person is too stupid or lazy to jump through all of the hoops to use it and does not want to pay another fee above their DSL. Wasn't oink tracked back to a single person running the site? Usenet, I think not. Leave Nick alone. He lingers longer....

This is the same guy who posted about oink then subsequently killed it. Seriously I think this might be a job for Anonymous!

I just came back from there, and downloaded like, a FREE 30 day trial to AOL! And it only cost like $29.95 plus shipping. Watch out for usenet tech support though. They have losers who try to get you to believe there's secret messages in groups with binaries in the name. LEET WOOT Usenet is like, SO REAL, dude!
