How did this end up in Google Groups? It obviously didn't exist back then.
- brlewis 15y agoDejanews (which later became Google Groups) archived tons of old messages.
- Indyan 15y agoSo, this is from Usenet.I hadn't even heard of Dejanews before, but Wikipedia (as always) filled me in. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Groups#Deja_News http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Groups#Deja_News
- pavel_lishin 15y agoIt seems to odd to me that someone would be aware of Google Groups, but not be aware that it's basically Usenet. At the tender young age of 27, I suddenly feel old.
- hollerith 15y agoWell, it is in Google Groups's interest to differentiate themselves from commodity suppliers of Usenet feeds, and they've done a good job of it, which has probably had a bad effect on Usenet.
