Hello, I don't really know what to write so I'm going to improvise. This is the first time I've used UseNet and it's a rather unique way of communicating between people. We really feel th
at these are the premises of the forums and the internet in general. I even find that, for the 80s and 90s, this system is quite well thought out and that it remains usable even today alt
hough new ways of communicating have taken over. So it was a good experience to try such a system for the first time, to make a "leap into the past"! Thank you

Welcome the Usenet, YaBF.
Ditch the bloated, centralised, censured, browser-based, and visually
contaminated communication media, and stay here.  Although many
Usenet groups are abandoned or infested with spammers, some continue
to host thriving communities. Let us keep Usenet alive -- the last
open, simple, free, independent, and decentralised social network,
Fakebook &c. actually being /asocial/ networks.

Please, make sure your articles are like plain old text files, with
about 72 characters per line -- think of them as typewritten text.
A suitable text editor will not only assist you in keeping the
correct line length, but will also (re)format your paragraphs at
request.
