Eulogy for Usenet

I got my first tech job off Usenet. I remember lots of conversations in rec.arts.starwars, back when you could actually HAVE a conversation. Ah, it's sad to see the decline of Usenet. I hope Molly's right, and that the departure of AOL will make it less desireable for spammers so the rest of us can come back and enjoy our little town.
