usenet isn't centralized like that though..

you could set up a server and take the place of aioe (RIP..) and be just as much "usenet" as anyone else ever was.

it would probably be significantly easier if you were text-only like almost all the free servers usually are, and could prove you're competent at keeping spam out of the wider network but ;)
