Web-based Usenet. :cough: groups.google.com :cough: Bleah.
My ISP discontinued Usenet in April or so, trying to pawn their
responsibility off on Google.
You add frames or a java "reader" or even navigation links and formatting on
message pages itself... it's clunky and adds significantly to the download.
Standalone Usenet's better cos the CLIENT does all this. I know, you're all
on 30Mbps DSL and can afford to be inefficient, but I'm on a lousy 44k
connection.
I think you have to make people drool over Usenet, and part of that is making
it pretty and appealing, to win over new users until the substance convinces
the users.
