Usenet was the domain of a small number of intellectuals.
The clueless outnumber the unclueless, about 100 to 1.
Goodbye, Eureka; Hello, Los Angeles (aka, “you-reek-a”.)
Usenet participant beginning 12/1985. (ARPANET access beginning 1984.) Active participant of talk.politics.misc, rec.org.sca and other groups for indeterminate number of years.
Still have a terrific Atholl Brose recipe used many times since Usenet acquisition.
