I'm sure it'll be fine... oh, totally unrelated: has any one been on Usenet lately?
Most Usenet discussion groups don't even get spambot posts these days.
Really? How do people get greencards nowadays then?
There are chat groups with usenet? How does that work? I have only ever seen it used for downloading stuff.
Usenet started out as a forum-like system, with individual messages grouped into discussion threads (the protocol worked kind of like email, with messages indicating which other message they replied to, so that client software could build a tree for each group). That side of it was eventually killed off by lack of good moderation options or support for embedded media.
