Nobody uses Usenet any more (much to my own personal chagrin as I found it
very useful for many things, as I'm sure others did/do).
The web has basically supplanted the usefulness of Usenet, but gone is

Ummm, nope! I still subscribe to 10 or 15 newsgroups - antique radio,
ham stuff, vintage tube stuff, etc. And I read it using Tin under a Unix

Long live Usenet!
Ain't quite dead, yet....
