"For many
years it maintained an almost vegetative life, but on 20
May, Duke University, Durham (USA), decided to unplug the server host
that kept it alive: Usenet, the online network of discussion groups
formally signed death . It was a precursor to the Internet, but mail,
RSS, and especially Facebook and Twitter have sustituidoel service
they provide."
Didn't Duke shut down their news server May 20 of *last year*?
I believe so.
Obviously no one at that august news institution gets that Usenet
is decentralized by design.
