said by BF69:said by bgraham:Newsgroups are part of the Internet and I have used them since the internet started. I would be mad if my ISP dropped them because I would have to subscribe to a service.
I guess that 99% of mom and pop internet users do not even know they exist so they will get very few complaints.
I wouldn't call myself "mom and pop" I've been on the internet for nearly 9 years now and I consider myself pretty knowledgable. I've never used a newsgroup or even been to one. Not sure what one even looks like. I really don't see what the big deal is. Enlighten me.
newsgroups=old school usually unmoderated forums
