Hey MRO!

At some point, you wrote:

MR> i dont think it's that. i just think marc's newsgate is fucking 'tarded.
MR> on top of that dude won't respond.

He responded here in Dovenet not too long ago, denying any claims that it was his system.

MR> if i were dm i'd try to contact marc one more time and then block him.

I don't even think Marc knows what his system is doing and/or thinks it's doing what it's supposed to.

Either way, I recently created an account on eternal-september.org and subscribed to a bunch of newsgroups (BBS related, 2600 related, Fido (even Russian fido7 newsgroups) related) to see if there was any activity there. Usenet as a whole seems fairly dead, unfortunately.

I guess my point is blocking Usenet wouldn't be missing much, if anything at all, besides spam posts/advertisements and maybe one random legit message every few months. With that being said, these days it's probably easier to search the web and find a BBS than it is to even get access to alt.bbs.* unless you're already on a BBS that is carrying it.

Regards,
Nick
