ISPs, Newsgroups, etc. ...OH MY!!!

Complete ignorance?  I ran a USENET server professionally eleven years
ago.  And it was a dead-end technology back then.

I don't care how many people use it, it does not scale.  It's no
longer a good technology, and it is fundamentally unsound.  It can not
be patched up to be relevant.  I don't think you realize that you can
put a coat of fresh paint on a piece of poop but it will still smell.

There are viable alternatives to USENET NEWS (happy now Adrian? :).
They can even be made blind / low-bandwidth / grumpy old man friendly.
 I suggest you start moving to them now.

P.S. By the way, your methods of debate are rather stale - using "ad
hominem" over and over again makes you look a bit one-dimensional.
The "complete ignorance" line you use has been seen too often, I
suggest that you either learn how to debate using facts and learned
methods or at least come up with newer insults.  Ciao.
