	Usenet note: Technology, Practice, Statistics
		Usenet participants use newsreader software to read and post email-like messages (often characterised as 'articles) to a number of distributed newsgroups.
		Usenet groups can be 'unmoderated' (ie any participant one can post) or 'moderated' (posts are automatically directed to a moderator who edits or filters and then posts the results).
		Usenet could grow to provide a forum through which people influence their governments, allowing for the discussion and debate of issues in a mode that facilitates mass participation.

	Usenet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Usenet is of significant cultural importance in the networked world, having given rise to, or popularized, many widely recognized concepts and terms such as "FAQ" and "spam".
		Usenet was thus one of the first peer-to-peer applications, although in this case the "peers" are themselves servers that the users then access, rather than the users themselves being peers on the network.
		One difference between Usenet and newer peer-to-peer applications is that one can request the automated removal of a posting from the whole network by creating a cancel message, although due to a lack of authentication and resultant abuse, this capability is frequently disabled.

		Usenet is available on a wide variety of computer systems and networks, but the bulk of modern Usenet traffic is transported over either the Internet or UUCP.
		Usenet operates much like the Internet-at-large; there is no single governing body or owner with absolute control, but there are recognized systems and groups who keep the whole thing almost organized.
		Usenet was featured at the 1980 Usenix conference and the scripts were re-written as freely distributed C programs.

	Usenet II (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Usenet II is an attempt to create a structure where the traditional Usenet model of cooperation and trust can be made to work in the Internet of the 21st century.
		This isn't to say that we'll prevent anyone from posting to Usenet II just because of who they are, but if they can't cooperate they'll have a much harder time finding an open site to launch their attacks from.
		The Usenet II hierarchy managers (Czars), czars.txt will be doing most of the hard work, delegated to them by the gophers in the Usenet II Steering Committee, committee.txt.

	Usenet - A defintion
		Usenet is a virtual peer-to-peer network for exchanging text messages or binary files with people all over the world.
		But unlike crappy BBSes on webpages, Usenet is a worldwide network and there are lovely clients (similar to e-mail clients), that you can use to write and receive messages a lot easier (even work off-line) and that offer you great filter abilities.
		Well, Usenet is a bit like that, just that it isn't in real-time, which has the advantage: If people aren't online when you send the message, they might still be able to read it, because messages stay on Usenet for several days.

	Usenet searching, Newsgroups searching, Usenet lore (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Usenet still exists, but it has largely faded into relative obscurity -proportionally- since the rise of the Web in the mid-'90s.
		In fact the importance of usenet as huge repository of files, programs and ideas is so staggering that it does not wonder me that the big commercial powers of the web are actively trying to AVOID people using it.
		To peruse usenet, you must access a news server, which is nothing else than a computer system which provides shared storage for Usenet articles.

	[No title] (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Apologies for my old-fashioned ways, but you know, I still have this deluded belief that Usenet proper is actually for the use of humans, and that groups which are not readable by normal humans don't belong in the standard hierarchies for human discussion and should be handled separately.
		That's really fucking ironic, because Usenet is also the place where one can find a real community of people who actually understand what it means to do something for the love of it.
		To throw your time and resources and and energy into something that no one is ever going to pay you a dime for, for no other reason than, damn it all, it's cool and people use it and it actually helps people talk.
