OMG - I resemble that remark! Should have known better to post w/o any coffee. At least it didn't go out for the whole world to see.

Wait a minute...

As well as " particularly in the developing world where Internet access remain [remains] unacceptably low."

Not to be a grammar nazi, but just makes us here in the USA look like we're stupid (as if we didn't need more help in that regards).

Re:So what?

On: Requiem for Usenet

I should know better than to post without less than 2 cups of coffee.

I've been using deja (used to be dejaview) way before it linked to a page called "Google" :) Anyhow, I have come to need an unmoderated, global bulletin board.

Is there an effective alternative? I think not.

So what?

On: Requiem for Usenet

I use UseNet (via deja.com) as much as I use Google. For me, it's a totally invaluable tool.
