Comment Usenet is far from dead.... (Score 1) 576

As the title says... Usenet is far from dead, in fact it's growing even bigger these days, for the comments about ISP's "killing" usenet no chance, most people that know what they're actually doing with usenet wouldn't use their ISP's newsgroup servers anyway because of low contention and completion. People complaininh that it's full of spam? uhhhhh theres a few stupid posts here and there but it's not that bad binary and text groups are split up these days, so going to alt.binaries.something looking for discussion/help you're not going to find it there. Also these comments 1-2gb for usenet accounts, a LOT of companys offer unlimited bandwidth, it's also why isp's are removing usenet because of the storage and bandwidth needed for it. Theres been a LOT of very incorrect information about usenet so just thought i'd clear some of it up.
