Astraweb, Supernews, or Frugal Usenet?

Please don't take offense @Chakara, but it is that kind of attitude that rained down unwanted attention and problems for the usenet as a filesharing medium. The Usenet is no longer respected and appreciated as it once was, it is the oldest part of the internet and will be here long after the torrent kiddies run away because many of them did not take the time to learn to properly use and understand the Usenet. If you can't find something you want on the Usenet, that very rarely means that it's not there - it just means you don't know where to look. Many of us who remember the early days of the evolution of the binaries as a means to share content are still to this day having no issues at all getting what we want, I think Beck and most of the rest who have been part of this community would agree with my observation. The Usenet is not necessarily exclusive, but it really was never meant to be for everyone in terms of the learning curve. It really is the nzb that has drawn the unwanted attention and fickle users. Many people think that the NZB is the only way to get content on the Usenet and nothing could be further from the truth.. It's the NZB that has let to the automation of DMCA's by the mafia...
