Usenet is unmoderated. Once you post it, it sticks forever. We could probably get one of the independent providers to give free access to a new newsgroup. Anyone have any thoughts?

I’ve used Usenet for my content needs for years because it’s so fast and risk free. I think we could also use it for our community discussions.

did it get back to normal at some point? I remember checking it out about 2000 and things like pets had obvious shills (post about purina being quality and great for your animal and note this was before the chain dog foods kicked it up a notch health wise.)
