The Original Usenet paper from Usenix 1980

[Jason Evans]

I'd been looking for this for a long time and when I found it, I forgot to
share. Anyway, here it is:

Thanks for posting the information.

Mentifex here made his first Usenet post on 28 January 1985:

"Linguistic Mind-Model"

http://ai.neocities.org/RoboMind.html -- a typical Mentifex AI webpage.

I first posted around 1982, but the Google Groups search is so bad that I
can't find it!

I think they have lost posts from before 2000. I was looking for posts
from before 2000, another newsgroup, and couldn't find them. They were
there at one time.

IMHO Google Groups is okay for a walled garden group messaging system.
But I think it is an apathetic Usenet interface, at best.

Their archive isn't complete but they still have some of my messages from 1985.
