Re: Newsgroups

said by Attack Gypsy:

People say newsgroups are stronger than ever. I disagree.

I used to work for a large cable service. In the year and a half I was there, I got exactly 2 newsgroups calls, and they were both about outages.

2 calls compared to over 20,000 calls taken? If newsgroups are so popular, the law of averages doesn't seem to working here.

I had other associates who had never fielded a single newsgroups call.

(This is not a newsgroups bash, I love them myself.)
Could it be that most of the people who know how to use Usenet are on the higher end of Internet Literacy?

I imagine most ISP calls are like, "My Youtube stopped working, halp plz"

Or, "I can't access my facebook from work."

I have been very charitable while poor and kind to people even while undergoing enormous personal pain.
My only weakness is that I at times have placed trust in deceitful people.
I know that GOD will be my ONLY judge in this life or the next.
