- Errrrr....
- It does help if you look at the ratings for the right organisation....
- The ratings come *after* the text, not before. The ratings you're looking
- at for usenet are in fact those for the trilateral commisson... usenet is
- given a score of 0 for exclusivity and secrecy, and maxes out with a 5/5
- score for "Strangeness of ritual". Also, if you discount all non-usenet
- newsgroups you do drop down into the middle hundreds.

- "The internet specialises in sharing software and salacious images between
- serious researchers. Usenet specialises in argument"
