Re: Seriously?
Hey! Don't you be dissing my beloved Usenet! You'll be maligning IRC next. Scandalous!
There is one huge difference between Usenet and the Internet; Usenet, and IRC, are comprised of a relatively small subset of humanity drawn from a tech aware set of elites...mostly... The WWW, represented by Facebook et all, are drawn from pretty much all of humanity, and there are vastly more unstable and idiotic individuals there who can be relied on to be unstable and idiotic in public.
Like the quote, though some of the imagery is a bit...iffy... :-)
