Death of Usenet, photos at 11.

Gareth scrive: "Binaries destroyed Usenet"

No. Binaries have always been a part of Usenet. It is idiots posting inappropriate binaries that are getting close to killing Usenet. It's a "tragedy of the commons" thing ... spam in email is part of the same problem.

Somewhere, the ghost of Knaresborough Forest is crying ...

Usenet will survive, though. Even if it has to go back to dial-up.
