open forum for collaboration, where ideas can be exchanged, rather that lost
in a sea of meaningless chatter, which I'm afraid the Internet and Usenet
are becoming, if they haven't already. It would be nice to see that the days
of the computer hobbyist have not been completely extinguished by
multi-billion dollar corporations. If such a network did come to exist, I
would welcome the opportunity to be an active participant in its
development. My only question is (question, not criticism): Why UUCP?
I would prefer DECnet, but a lot machines don't grok DECnet. Most of mine
do, though.
