OK, maybe I've gotten a grasp on the
argument... perhaps this article on the
history of USENET will enlighten everyone.
http://www.ifh.de/computing/documentation/zen/zen-1.0_30.html#SEC37
Usenet started in 1979 - in the United States.
However, I would say that USENET is
very universal. There is more information
at this URL:

....<excerpt/>
Usenet was created by two Duke University graduate students
in 1979: see Spafford (1993) for the definitive history of Usenet and a
list of Usenet software for virtually every type of computer.
To paraphrase Spafford and Salzenberg (1992): Usenet is *not* a network.
Usenet is an anarchy, with no laws and no one in charge. No one has any
real control outside of their own site.

Now, let's play nice.
