Web-based Usenet.  :cough: groups.google.com :cough:  Bleah.

My ISP discontinued Usenet in April or so, trying to pawn their 
responsibility off on Google.


You add frames or a java "reader" or even navigation links and formatting on 
message pages itself... it's clunky and adds significantly to the download.

Standalone Usenet's better cos the CLIENT does all this.  I know, you're all 
on 30Mbps DSL and can afford to be inefficient, but I'm on a lousy 44k 
connection.

I think you have to make people drool over Usenet, and part of that is making 
it pretty and appealing, to win over new users until the substance convinces 
the users.
