What NewsGroup services do you like?

[Tony]

Why such silly questions? The definition of usenet is you get on there then
you FROG them or 'em that's right ya get on there then ya FROG 'em. I could
even FROG you. I become other people on usenet, my favourite is resurrecting
the deceased or dead. I like to let people live a longer life on usenet even
if they've passed on in the real world. I'm a helper of sorts someone to look
up to. Once you grasp the real meaning of usenet you'll soon forget about all
the other useless crap like web pages and blogs. Just think more groups than
you could ever read in a lifetime.
