    Wow. Usenet is completely spammed everywhere I go.

    I kind of want to spi up IN2 (InterNet News 2) now and setup my own
    NNTP network. Would anyone be interested in that. XD

    I think I will find a solution to the mess that NNTP networks are. Well
    Usenet is. I just wish that people would setup a new Usenet with highly
    strict rules on signing up to severs and the peering with servers.
