   Even the most relatively easy ways to set this up besides Groups such   
   as with ES and Thunderbird is a bit of a pain to just find. Nobody   
   explains it and mentions of Usenet on the broader net are almost   
   exclusively about paying for binary piracy. Just figuring out where to   
   go is enough of a hurdle that it even scares away the hipsers that are   
   usually into old platforms like this. Even telnet is easier to set up,   
   which leads to a really odd state of affairs where BBS's are more   
   popular than newsgroups in the current year.
