No, thanks, but YOU, asswipe, supposedly have 50 years of UseNet archives on YOUR server, asswipe, so why don't YOU, asswipe, look up the followups, asswipe??

Since Usenet was invented in 1979 this would make it impossible to have 50 years of archives.

 Didn't UseNet develop out of (What was it called) DARPANet or some such .... a Military network the had spread to some University-type Institutions??
 

1979 began with two people figuring out how to exchange messages and files between computers would mean the archives from then would be very small and boring.

The asswipe is full of shit but that is common knowledge anyway.

 It certainly is common knowledge!!

Usenet was conceived in 1979 and publicly established in 1980, at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and Duke University,[8][2] over a decade before the World Wide Web went online (and thus before the general public received access to the Internet), making it one of the oldest computer network communications systems still in widespread use.
It was originally built on the "poor man's ARPANET", employing UUCP as its transport protocol to offer mail and file transfers, as well as announcements through the newly developed news software such as A News. The name "Usenet" emphasizes its creators' hope that the USENIX organization would take an active role in its operation.[9]
