whatever you did, you didn't do it on Usenet but on a website, and on
groups.google.com, one of the most spammer friendly web2news gateways I
know. Anyway: *Usenet*-users can't use this "group".


Brian has no clue about the difference between the two. Oh well...

Back in the '80's most news reading clients imposed a mandatory visit
to the news.newusers newsgroup upon their first time use, thus new
users had an opportunity to enlighten themselves about Usenet before
using it.

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".
