"steve", ARPANET is long since gone.
Steven Shelikoff wrote: You must use an isp to read a usenet newsgroup. Well, you have to have *some* sort of Internet connection, at least intermittently. If you have an Internet connection, you're getting it from some service provider. That provider may or may not be a commercial ISP, but they are an ISP of some sort. You're making the same mistake he made. No, you don't need an internet connection of any type to read usenet newsgroups. You can get a newsfeed without an ISP. The usenet has been around much longer than the commercial internet as we know it today and for the most part used UUCP to transfer messages. And you can still use that method without having any internet access at all. Of course, when this was all pointed out to Jax and he just huffed and denied it, as is his usual MO when someone points out a mistake of his, when the much easier and saner thing to do is to just admit a mistake and move on. No one's perfect... but Jox thinks he is even though he's wrong in just about everything he says. Steve |
