Oh then, by all means, let's take a trip to Julian's version of Usenet. There is one group, called "usenet". none of this subgroup stuff, it's unnecessary. People can read the headers, after all. Let's log in, shall we? # readnews newsroup: usenet 14002937617 messages, 10214737 new threading.................................................................. ........................................................................... ........................................................................... ........................................................................... ........................................................................... ........................................................................... ........................................................................... ........................................................................... (snip 8,427 lines) .............................................. Yuppers, that's the way to do it. Let's do away with all those un-needed things like group names, and just post whatever the hell we want anywhere. That'll sure make it easy to find what we want. Another benefit of using alt.test for tests, aside from keeping test posts out of discussion groups, is that there are autoresponders watching that group, which will email you as your post goes around the world. But, of course, that wouldn't fit into Julian's Usenet. Nevermind. Sheesh...
