Evan,
You've got to remember that USENET predates most of the people on
the net these days. 'Course given that USENET predates the internet
that's not hard to do.
The kids these days don't know anything unless it works via point-&-click
with a broswer. ;)
Don't call it USENET, call it Google-Groups. That's browserish
and so comprehensible by the masses. ;(
