Usenet is dead, lets face it. Just take a look at the link and see how much better it is.

Pretty pictures, yes, but I see no discussions. Style over content. Really, there is not much to say about a picture. With usenet we get conveniently distinct threads, and any message can be quickly saved to disk for future reference. Richard Dobson

Just asking.

One plus for Facebook is that it gives a numerical answer to the question "how many dsp friends do I have" and "how many people liked my post"? With UseNet I'm always insecure. Also, we could invent emoticons that are specific to dsp; for example, an unstable system might be summed up by an emoticon consisting of a unit circle with 2 poles on the outside and a frowny- face in the middle.
