Once upon a time (it was in a month following september) several popular ISPs (AFAIR AOL was among them) set up their own newsservers and such made the usenet publicly available to the masses. Since then, the joke ? goes, that Usenet went down, at least in quality of the posts there, because those people had no idea of how Usenet works and how the rules are. It would have been better, if the preceeding september would have lasted for ever (which implies that it would have been better not to open the Usenet to the masses). -- Ulrich Korndoerfer VB tips, helpers, solutions -> http://www.prosource.de/Downloads/ MS Newsgruppen Alternativen -> http://www.prosource.de/ms-ng-umzug.html
From: Ulrich Korndoerfer on 10 Jun 2010 17:50 PS If you look closely at the home page of www.external-september.org, you will see that there the current time is counted from origin september 1993. Currently we are at Thu Sep 6127 23:48:22 +02:00 1993, which seems to be the 6127th day after 1st of september 1993. :-) -- Ulrich Korndoerfer VB tips, helpers, solutions -> http://www.prosource.de/Downloads/ MS Newsgruppen Alternativen -> http://www.prosource.de/ms-ng-umzug.html

Eternal September (also September that never ended)[1] is a Usenet slang expression, coined by Dave Fischer, for the period beginning September 1993.[2] The expression encapsulates the belief that an endless influx of new users (newbies) since that date has continuously degraded standards of discourse and behavior on Usenet and the wider Internet. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternal_September -- ..NET: It's About Trust! http://vfred.mvps.org Customer Hatred Knows No Bounds at MSFT ClassicVB Users Regroup! comp.lang.basic.visual.misc Free usenet access at http://www.eternal-september.org

More efforts on MSFT's part to FUD you into their collective. Web boards should take care of that since they have no logicla order to them. Or purpose. You also need an official MSFT ID collar and allow access for MSFT's outsourced ad server(s) to access your computer. -- Customer Hatred Knows No Bounds at MSFT Free usenet access at http://www.eternal-september.org ClassicVB Users Regroup! comp.lang.basic.visual.misc Bawwk!
