Sorry to get pedantic, folks, but we're talking about Usenet NEWS, here, not Usenet, in general. Usenet News was simply one of the services available through that UUCP/dialup connected network of systems called Usenet. Usenet, itself, is even closer to being dead than Usenet News, now that this news system has switched mainly to being carried by NNTP over the Internet.
What? Who's talking about some UUCP/dialup thing that I've never even heard of? Isn't Time Warner dropping Usenet (general) access via NNTP over the Internet (or at least their intranet)?
