This was pre-HTTP, recall, so anyone reading USENET was using a USENET client (with the odd outlier using a news/mail gateway). Nowadays, people don't need to use those clients. Thus, many don't even realize there is such an entity as USENET operating behind the scenes of their "aviation web forum with the funny name with lots of dots". - Andrew |
