Re: Newsgroups
Usenet was 'taken over' by Google from Deja a good few years ago. It is sort of teh major archive whilst there are hundreds of servers around the world they are all meant to sync with each other this can be sporadic.
groups.google is their interface into their system so I guess its both usenet and their their own news system.
I personally like usenet, I've been on there for over 10 years now and would miss my daily dose of ukrm, linux groups and others. Its also a good repoository for dumping gotchas, useful hints and solutions to obscure problems.
I agree about what some accyweb users would think if they got into usenet!
