Usenet did not die that way. In fact, it was later that year? the next
year? that I was one of the 13 proponents who created a new Big 8
newsgroup.... On the other hand, AOL was a *royal* pain, given that they
autosubscribed people to selected newsgroups... and alt.best.of.internet
was one, and they had no clue, "we can post whatever we want wherever we
want"....
