Nice to see you mention Usenet was fun for a long time. AOL dropping it was the beginning of the end. At the time many rejoiced because AOL users weren't held in high regard from those who had a "real" ISP that required them to set up a dialer, browser, e mail client, and Usenet client while all AOL people had to do was stick a disc into the machine.
