   That's my idea, too.  I don't think the USENET is actually a perfect   
   project.  I think communities should not too large.  So I think we   
   should build more NNTP servers to be used by small communities.  And   
   then these servers should have a standard API so that an index could be   
   created somewhere where people can discover communities.   
      
   Imagine how many closed NNTP servers, mailing lists are out there and   
   nobody knows.   
      
   The web is like that.  A website sends you to another one.  This is   
   decentralization.  No NNTP servers send you to another one, except those   
   that have peers, but then it's as if they're all the same.  My idea is   
   to make NNTP servers more like the web.   
      
   I don't know if it works.  I'm thinking out loud.
