How about an official ES Facebook group?

[Steen]

Could be fun to see how many would join, and spread the word about this
great (and free) service, that the guys at Eternal-September provides

And that's precisely why I'll have nothing to do with services like those.

I mean, who needs them?

[Steen]

E-S?
Nobody needs the service, but usenet Can be a wonderful thing

Nah, I'd venture to guess many people that use Facebook honestly
wouldn't have a clue what Usenet is or how to use it. Gone are the days
when people actually had to have a clue to use a computer. I honestly
miss those days.

It would quickly become overloaded and stop functioning. Needs to be a
secret.

Okay, here you go.

Me too. But at least those that do are finally appreciated. :)

USENET does not get promoted. The typical user has never heard
of it. Unless he does, gets some software for dealing with it, and
takes the time to set up, he will not use USENET. That is quite a few
obstacles for something he does not know why it would be useful.

OTOH, the Web gets mentioned much, much, much more often, and why
it is useful is obvious to him.

Please, anything but F___ B___ !

[zeez]

I'll be happy if and when that service becomes passe' and bites the dust.
Good riddance to that privacy monster.

[zeez]

They will still have to know how to download and configure a newsreader.
Many FB users barely know how to work FB itself.

Rubbish!

I note that you have happily given the owner of the Eternal-September
server full access to your computer.

Isn't that a rather stupid thing to have done?

Facebook is well and truly monitored. Who is looking out for your safety
here on THIS server? Think about it!

Facebook allows open access to people's information. Or maybe that's
what you meant by 'monitored'.

Are you unaware of how this item appeared in your message header?

Injection-Info: sb.eternal-september.org;
posting-host="c8ff1503f903c19791f6ac7c158367cd";
logging-data="12762"; mail-complaints-to="ab...@eternal-september.org";
posting-account="U2FsdGVkX1+OxW0bM/8r7GQ2YczWeoU7ZMdGmYPxDx4="

[Mr On!on]

That information does not confer "full access to your computer",
it is just a hash of your IP address and your posting account.

The News server can see what I post to Usenet?

Oh my god! (running away, screaming into the hills)

If you get bored enough to bother putting it in,
you too can have such fluff in your headers. ;)

If any on-line 'operation' does NOT have a Facebook presence, their

Facebook is now a great Internet 'Policeman'!
