I love treasure hunting. Sometimes Usenet feels like the dusty old thrift store of the Internet. If you have ever found a thrift store with rows of shelves chock full of books, old compact discs, and ancient cassette tapes, then you know what I mean.

Turns out we didn't need a blockchain. Newsgroup was a pretty good "let the rest of the world mirror it."
