What principle is that? I'm a Usenet junkie myself, and also
I'm always short of money, but it has never bothered me to pay
10 Euros a year to News.Individual.NET. What bothers me is that
so few people these days have even /heard/ of Usenet, and keep on
using appallingly clunky message board systems (or worse, blogs),
while demanding improvements that were part of Usenet when it was
designed.
