You know Usenet still exists, right? September finally ended and so the
volume is down, but that is no bad thing.
I run a transit server for my own amusement. (It's even listed in "The
Official TOP1000 Usenet Servers".) I keep toying with asking my peers to
send a full feed instead of just the handful of hierarchies and groups I'm
interested in.
It's nothing new. 15y ago or something, there
were umpteen Communities on
Livejournal for any conceivable subject or interest -- most created by
kids without the wits to check for others' before creating their own.
This is
one of the reasons why I miss good old USENET - with a public list
of groups, and a clear hierarchy.
