I believe Usenet would have scaled just fine if the net had merely gotten bigger, instead of fundamentally changing its demographics. That change co-happened with the scaling, but I think it wasn't the scaling that killed Usenet.But isn't it that very "changing demographics" that makes the Internet what it is today?
Yes - well, at least in large part. Your "but" seems to imply that you consider this a good thing, which I definitely do not. Today's net has a few good characteristics, as compared to the NSFnet days, but it's got a lot more bad ones. I've occasionally thought, with greater and greater frequency in the last 10-15 years, that I'd rather have the old net back even at the prices that would entail. /~\ The ASCII Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML mouse () rodents-montreal org / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
