Thought maybe Usenet got involved with the main hierarchies, but I
guess it's the individual ISPs...

No, really? Usenet isn't a physical body, its a communications
protocol.
BigMac
message every month or so. They have largely been abandoned
by the users. Conor just doesn't understand that once a
newsgroup has been created it's virtually impossible to
delete it due to the nature of the usenet - - every server
in creation has the name of that newsgroup. The effect is
that the number of newsgroups keeps growing and growing and
never shrinks. There are perhaps several thousand newsgroups
that really *shouldn't* be there due to shere neglect. Give
the guy a break.

There is also the "fact" that the major ISP controled servers
(RoadRunner as an example) have next to no interest in
supporting NGs. They look on it as an unexploitable resource,
of interest to a few geeks amouting to a tiny percentage of
there customer base.
The lack of a geewiz graphical interface, with comercialy
exploitable features, dampens their enthusiasm. If the EMail
service and the News Group service had not been linked for
so long, I think they would have dropped the NGs long ago.
Just an o-pine;

for resolving tech questions. I still remember my first
venture into the usenet: alt.os.windows95.crash.crash.crash.
The guy who thought up that name had a sense of humor. I
found the answer to my problems there and have been using
the usenet ever since.

Err yes I do, I've been on Usenet for over a decade...
The groups he is referring to are comp.sys.laptops, comp.laptops and
uk.comp.laptops..all of which have a reasonable amouint of traffic and
certainly more than a few posts a day. Perhaps you ant to try a decent
news server.

Yep, Usenet is by far the best tech support service available. I've
had several pieces of software that would never have been usable
without help from the newsgroups.
Steve
I use Giganews. Kinda surprising they'd carry these groups...

Err yes they do. comp.laptops is part of the comp.* hierarchy,
uk.comp.sys.laptops is part of the uk.comp. hierarchy. I know for a
fact supernews carries it and so does usenetserver.

DUMB FUCKING ARSE. There is not a central administration. TALE has fuck
all to do with regulating anything outside their own little cliche.
Go away and learn something then come back.

Connor, did your dad yell at you when you didn't know how to do your
homework? Did you get hit a lot around the head and shoulders? What is
behind your behavior in this newsgroup?
Or did you just have a bad egg for breakfast?

So what? Plenty of others do. Try requesting it and you'll see its
added.
FYI comp.laptops has had in excess of 50 posts in last couple of days
so its hardly quiet.

I don't even have a clue who the Big-8 are/is thats how much impact
they/it has on usenet.
