Wow.. so much hate.
I apologize for trying to open another venue for talking about bass fishing. I thought, obvioulsy incorrectly, that people might enjoy having a place better suited for discussions than almost 30 year old technology. Again, my apologies. -- --------------------------------- --- -- - Posted with NewsLeecher v3.7 Final Web @ http://www.newsleecher.com/?usenet ------------------- ----- ---- -- - |

We can set our newsreaders to ignore posters that trash the place up with content we don't want to bother with.

"bill allemann" wrote in message t... Did Al Gore invent newsgroups 30 years ago? Time flies.. I'm gonna have to go look it up now, but I thought usenet was older than the internet. Atleast older than the internet as we know it. Its an out growth of the old message relay system of military and university computers. Here is one history from http://www.usenet.com/articles/history_of_usenet.htm Birth of Usenet Usenet was born approximately 3 decades ago, in 1979. It all began as a small communication network between a few universities in the United States used to trade information, news, and research results. It has grown from a simple design without an official structure, to a logical network linking millions of people and computers to over 100,000 different newsgroups and millions of bytes of articles. What began as two or three sites on a single network in 1979, expanded to 15 in 1980, to 150 in 1981, to 400 in 1982, to millions in 2003. Who Created Usenet Two Duke University graduate students in North Carolina, Tom Truscott and Jim Ellis, came up with the idea of hooking computers together to exchange information with the UNIX community. The first news software, called 'A' News was built by Steve Bellovin, another Duke student. As the news volume increased exponentially, the limited functionality of 'A' News was replaced by a newer version called 'B' News in 1981, developed by Mark Horton and Matt Glickman. 'B' News was followed by an improved version naturally called 'C' News in 1987 which was created by Geoff Collyer and Henry Spencer. Nowadays, there are numerous software packages for news management. Users can access the newsgroups and their content using a constantly increasing number of newsreader applications. Hmmmm..... Basically it looks like Usenet was started in 1979. According to these they were just University networks to start. -- Bob La Londe Fishing Arizona & The Colorado River Fishing Forums & Contests http://www.YumaBassMan.com -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com |

I think that was called Arpanet, or something like that.
I don't think computer systems from back then are very relevant to "casual" usage of recent years, though. Bill "Bob La Londe" wrote in message .. . "bill allemann" wrote in message t...

In fact, you're still a cub. Usenet, Rime-Net, Hair-Net.... they're all light years ahead of what we had when I entered the workforce -- scratching crude pictures and symbols on boulders and rolling them from cube to cube! "Rock-n-roll" was fast, cheap, and required little OJT. For short notes, a fist-size rock would do. My head still throbs in memory of all the jokes and chain-rocks that whizzed around our community. Of course, rock-n-roll found its way from the office to society in general, and then parents were faced with the challenge of figuring out the rock symbols their teenagers devised and used among themselves. (There was no respect for convention even back in the day.) Once a technology has become entrenched, troglodytes will hold onto to it forever. As I visit the major cities of the U.S., I'm pleased to note that the denizens still adhere to the old ways, as evidenced by bricks whizzing through the air at political rallies and large, flamboyant messages posted on brick walls, alleyways, bridge pilings, stationary boxcars, subway tunnels... almost any highly-visible, vertical surface invites correspondence. Boy, what excitement filled the place when someone introduced the technique of using a stylus to press cuneiform patterns pressed into moist clay tablets. Very neat, but talk about slow! We had to let them cure before we could send over to the other cubes in our office or to other cave complexes. And, as we later learned, every technological advance in communications created a buracracy and new jobs. Cuneiform writing wasn't easy (it took a while to learn to speak Phoenecian and the Ugarit alphabet), so every complex ended up with a HRD department for training the workers. Then we had to develop specialist for archiving. If someone sent you a note and you wanted to refer to it later, all you had to do was run down to the stacks, where all the notes were categorized by subject, or by sent date, or by last update, or by author, or by recipient. (We seem to have not advanced to far on that evolutionary path, have we?) As I progressed in my career, we witnessed communication fads come and go. Smoke signals were pretty cool, and you could send them over long distance (much easier than rocks!) but when health-nicks caught wind of the risks involved, they instituted "no smoking in public places" policies, which damped that technological advance. Pounding on hollow logs and later skin-covered drums was neat at first. All the nerds who knew how to drum were snapped up by companies and drumming became "cool," but as that more and more people jumped into the act and that technology proliferated, the airwaves became cluttered. We were always having our messages intercepted, and too many people online simultaneously clogged the network. The feds put the kibosh on that with HIPPA, since it's hard to maintain confidentiality in the open forum of drum messaging. Fads came and went... papyrus, parchment, paper... then along came Guglielmo Marconi, Claude Chappe and Samuel Morse, Alexander Graham Bell, John Logie Baird, and all those braniacs who ushered in the paperless workplaces that we all enjoy today. Al Gore added structure and elegance to electronic communications when he and Ali McGraw (or was it Tipper), invented the Internet. And that's where we find ourselves today. Don't get too settled on this "Internet" thing. I'm sure it's just a passing fad, and soon we'll all be abuzz with "simul-thought-casting" or something else. Joe |

I thought, obvioulsy incorrectly, that people might enjoy having a place better suited for discussions than almost 30 year old technology. Again, my apologies. Nobody has any problem with that. The problem is that you haven't clearly identified where your "off site content" is coming from, and that's just a misrepresentation. If you clearly label the post that come from the usenet with the group they're coming from, and allow only members to post through so we're not bombarded by any spam that might be targeted to your site, I don't think you'll have much problems from here. Otherwise, you're just trying to jump start a site with content that's not yours. -- Scott Reverse name to reply |
