   Google has worked very hard with their interface to deliberately obscure   
   these differences and make it seem like Usenet is a proprietary Google   
   service.  So, many of us have been attempting to educate Google users for the   
   past two decades about what Usenet really is.  If they haven't got it by   
   now, they likely won't.
