They've polished a turd. A waste of energy. That's like saying modern cars are non-compliant with dirt roads. I can read Usenet posts easier, faster, and in more places than you can. I can post easier and faster and in more places than you can. You're stuck to using your machines. That's so primitive. I can do searches in Usenet and the internet without leaving the interface or opening another program. I can do everything faster and better than you can. You OTOH, are just shit out of luck. So sorry, but it ain't my problem. Suck it up. |

They've polished a turd. A waste of energy. I began surfing the Internet in Usenet, while the WWW was being developed! 1991-1995! Usenet USED to be great, but now is mostly SPAMMED out of usefulness. **** the fresh new GoogleGroups! Now Google wants to make them more Surveillance CAPITALISM friendly and thus more PROFITABLE for Google! But Governments are becoming more strict and 'on the scent' of the Surveillance Capitalists!!

There's more to the Internet than the World Wide Web, as Usenet newsgroups demonstrate. Since you use a browser to access the WWW, browsing is as good as anything. To return to the original topic, I've switched to the new Google Groups. I suppose I'll get used to it, just as I get used to it when they rearrange the grocery store. Cindy Hamilton |
