   Site sez: 'The era of usenet is over'   
      
   Probably the .uni decision makers are blinded by their involvement w/   
   social media.   
      
   I agree that times are different for usenet than they used to be, but I   
   don't agree that it is 'over'.  It has been changing since the beginning.   
      
   Society would probably be better off w/ just what was/ is/ and has been/   
   wrong w/ usenet society compared to what is currently wrong w/   
   browser/phone internet society.
