Usenet is not worthwhile. Where's the money in it for the ISP's? They
don't care about SPAM, except that they are mad that *they* aren't
getting money from it. A lot of the cost is the downloading of videos
and music, much of it in violation of copyright. A few noises about
kiddie porn, and *blam*, ISPs are dropping Usenet.
