What is there to say that hasn't already been said?
At one time, I was so invested in USENET that I wrote a client app for it, on two different operating systems (BeOS and Mac OS X). These days I make no use of it at all, and I haven't for years.
USENET was designed for a simpler, more naive period. It has no defense against spammers and trolls, and no way to establish a firm identity that can't be spoofed. It just doesn't work in today's internet.
