Getting my feed just as this thread was closing, I guess I missed what happened
to FIDO but USENET turned into a complete disaster! All the binary attachments
and what have you - if you didn't have at least an OC-8 feed you were
missing many of the pieces and it took way too long to download!

USENET/NNTP was originally developed by WB6CYT who became SK last autum as a 
method for ham radio NOS BBS systems to exchange public mail between them.
It caught on with the general internet community and next thing you know
USENET was created.

A little something for those who aren't hams to try and encourage 'em to
get a license.
