I'm doing a couple of conference presentations next month on reviving
Usenet. Part of it will be telling stories from Usenet to both stir .
One of the most famous stories is from a Finnish grad student starting
his own OS. I've already got that one in my notes.
What I'm looking for are interesting and/or funny stories from Usenet.
I've got several gigs of archives from archive.org going back to the
80's. If you can tell me the story, the newsgroup, and approximately when
(withing 3-5 years), I can probably find the original posts with some
digging. That's how I found the original post from the grad student :).
Thanks!

Here's a crappy rehearsal recording that I uploaded because the
recordings from the conferences weren't saved.

BTW why you don't post it on binaries too, so when ... the site is down,
at least there is "backup" on usenet.

I don't do binaries, but It might be a good idea to upload it to

upload it to archive.org. That's a better long-term solution.

Yup, archive is a good option as backup, but it is not good to release

something since sometimes it can be really slow.
