Do I lose my "geek" title if I don't know what usenet is?

Yes. That's like not knowing what email is.

email? what is this "email" you speak of...? ;)

*sigh* That makes me sad. I have spent too long on this university network with DC++ at my fingertips that I have forgotton what it is like "outside" when trying to find something

doubt they'd go that far to sue each person unless it's a big distributor of movies or music. TV eps are so borderline it's not even worth it, IMO.

What makes you think they are gone? Last time I checked they were just having problems with their site.

They better not be gone!
