   USENET. That's where it was posted, through Google Groups.   
      
   I was making fun of the fact the poster refers to itself in the third   
   person.

   Google Groups could be the most used individual platform for USENET   
   posters, but most of us don't think of Google Groups as USENET. It's more   
   like AOL.   
      
   Can't say I never will, but using Google Groups for USENET is   
   self-defeating. Besides porn, the benefit of USENET is mostly uncensored   
   expression, Google doesn't allow that.
