corollary

I found an interesting FAQ about Usenet yesterday. It explains the Usenet Death Penalty. Usenet is a wonderful anarchic experiment. I imagine anarchists and libertarians both think it's the bee's knees. I suspect it does so well because there isn’t a huge amount riding on its continued success or failure.

For all that, I use it regularly, and one forum comp.std.c was very useful for my PhD thesis.
