Well, if you had pointed to the part which - in some rather twisted

you didn't, you haven't.

Frank, as you well know which obviously tony dosen't, USENET is *not* the internet.

Cath,
Something to take your mind out of the fog....
"What is the Internet?
The Internet today is a large-scale network of millions of computers
that allows continuous communication across the globe. The various
applications of the Internet are:
* The World-Wide Web (the web or www )
* Electronic Mail (E-Mail)
* File Transfer Protocol (FTP)
* Internet Relay chat (IRC)
* USENET (a news service)"
Just a small quote from:-
http :// www .yourhtmlsource,com /starthere/historyofthenet.html
Makes interesting reading......
Why I can remember way back when the usenet portion of the Internet
was just showing its face.
Knew a chap who worked at a university, and he had great delight in
showing us reams of paper, which had been transmitted ONE (1) letter
per page, as part of a message.
Now back to today, "Usenet" is still a part of the internet.
Meaning "interconnected"
It just so happens that for most the only part they see is the www
secton of the "Internet"
Hope you have a nice day..

You do *not* need the internet to connect to Usenet.
You may need an ISP who 'takes' a feed
If you use Google Groups then yes, I believe you would indeed need to connect to the internet to
access Usesnet.
Many isp's do not take Usenet in which case you either have to pay a news-service/server or use Free
Agent [free or paid version].

Why should I be writing?
But wait, why am I not surprised at what you just wrote?
Afterall, when one checks your posting history, the majority of posts are one line smart arsed
postings.
Now, seeing you are in such a mood to research, what does BBS or RFD or CFD mean to you - the latter
two are Usenet 'terms'.
I still don' think you have a real clue as to what is Usenet!

SO where have you been Frank ??
Have'nt seen your name here for a while, been sick have we ??
There was no specific part that was as you call it, "netcopping", just
that her constant posts are a pain in the proverbial.
And Cath, So how does "usenet" work then if not over the internet ??

Thanks for asking, and thanks for *noticing*! :-)
> Have'nt seen your name here for a while, been sick have we ??
Quite the contrary, we've been in Oz, our seventh-in-a-lifetime trip,
this time 'only' to/in QLD and NSW. We had a great time, not that that
should be much of a surprise.
After our trip there's not been much interesting stuff in the group
and nobody to slap around :-), hence I've been quiet.
> There was no specific part that was as you call it, "netcopping", just

Well, it's quite common to post Charters or/and FAQ on a regular
basis, that's the whole point of them. But perhaps posting them under
some kind of adminstrative name would tie them less to a person and more
to the group and cause less people to get their knickers in a knot. Just
an idea.
> And Cath, So how does "usenet" work then if not over the internet ??
You kids wouldn't know, would you? :-) Usenet *predates* the Internet,
so Usenet doesn't need the Internet, but can work over *any* medium/
transport. It just 'happens' that these days nearly all Usenet transport
is over the Internet.
Not that any of this is at all relevant, but since a particular
hopping creature is already absent for quite a while, you guys might no
longer feel at home here, hence this whine from somebody *else*. We aim
to please! :-)

Ever heard of just accessing Usenet via a isp without accessing the internet perse?
I can and do, log on to my isp and never touch the I$ or Firefox 'buttons'. i.e. I access Usenet
directly and not go near the 'internet'...
