Re: cbosgd.127: change of names netnews and USENET
Well, the idea of changing USENET's name is good,
but I have objections (of course) to the proposed
'newsnet'.

1) we need a more exciting name.

2) its not really a news network.
       much of what is transmitted is not news
       according to traditional definitions of news.
