DEAR MORONS WHO KEEP BLABBING ABOUT NEWSGROUPS:

THERE IS A VERY GOOD REASON THE FIRST RULE OF NEWSGROUPS WAS ESTABLISHED. The more people know about it, the more people will use it. The more people that use it, the more appealing a "target" it becomes. Think about that for a minute.

Haha, I wouldn't worry about it. Most people who use BT and P2P would never pay for a news account somewhere. Luckily ISP newservers are horrid enough to leave a bad taste in most people's mouths.

On top of that I've found plenty of people can't figure out how they work. My old roommate for example, thinks BT is the end all of d/ling. When I tried to enlighten him he couldn't figure out how they worked even after I showed him.

He's kind of thick headed though...

There's the occasional smart one in the sea of stupid; if you talk about it, they will come. And with NZB, usenet is basically fast torrents that you have to pay for. That makes things even worse.

The second rule of newsgroups is that you don't talk about NZB!!!
