Classic Comp UUCP network.

Quothe Jay West, from writings of Sat, Feb 09, 2002 at 12:00:11PM -0600: Because the Internet has become popular with, and infested by, the common masses and, as a result, has caught the interest of those strange creatures called politicians resulting in its becoming the victim of SPAMmers (who are not all that dissimilar, intellectually, thought police, and similar cretins, who want to censor what people say via the 'net (take a look at the user-agreement for Yahoo, for example). It would be nice, as well as sensible, to, once again, have a network only for hackers, scientists, etc., where e-mail can be exchanged without SPAM or limitations on freedom of speech. While the source is still with us, why not use it to make life better? :-) Another reason: Usenet has degenerated into a fine mess as well, so, we can have our own independent Usenet (Classicnet?) via dialup UUCP, which could replace E-bilk as well. Surley most of us remember starting our collections by buying interesting-sounding equipment that we knew little to nothing about, which was sold on Usenet newsgroups; no auctions; a seller would sell an item to to the first person responding to an ad, and if no one was willing to pay the requested price, the item went to the best offer. Simple, easy, quick, sensible and convenient. -- Copyright (C) 2001 R. D.
