Usenet wasn't/Isn't and experiment. It is one of the oldest facets of the Internet. NNTP

Groups is is major killer of what Google Groups connects to.

I have to laugh at that, the whole Internet experience/aspect is a
massive experiment. One needs merely look at the projected aspects to be
placed, such as cloud... once expected to be FOR the users, now just an
extension of advertising and designed usage. What a wonderful propaganda
and sales machine it turned out to be.

Okay,, but it never worked for Usenet abusers,, then again using these
techniques on non-trolls or other innocent users likely will drive away
further usage of these groups...

So is that what you really want?
