Did someone forget you to tell that there is a prerequisite to ownage? You can't just walk in and declare it. Now get away from my MiG21.

Usenet is too complicated for a lot of people. You have to configure things and find a good program to use, but that's OK. Stick to what works for you.

Usenet is a far better way of gathering files than BitTorrent, genius.

You like sharing files as you download, having your connection congested and slow download speeds? Then stay with BitTorrent.

Yeah, so tell everyone about it right? So the RIAA or MPAA can get it shut down? Friends dont let stupid friends use Usenet. Once it becomes too easy it will be filled with morons, virii and other crap, just like the P2P networks.

That's the great thing with the Usenet, users look out for each other. If a post is found to be bad or is a virus, many people are quick to point it out.

 
You're violating the basic rules of not keeping common knowledge a secret. Next thing you know the riaa will realize this common knowledge is a secret and bust everyone. So lets get this straight once and for all - this is common knowledge that *must* remain neither common, nor knowledge.
