- jrockway 18y agoFWIW, Usenet is a collection of posts answering the same questions again and again and again and again. Maybe tagging will help people find existing answers more quickly. The good thing about Usenet is the barrier to entry. Stack Overflow has already shown that it's wayyyy too easy to get and account and start incorrectly answering questions.
