    I remember when UseNet and BBS's used to be the main social outlet for many wanting to go public with their stories and rants. Having an active
    newsgroup allows anonymity still, while honest posters are still allowed to voice their opinions and facts without the burden of surveillance weighing
    you down the way Facebook and Twitter does. Really, all those sites are is a means for government and security to watch you more closely, much in the
    same way that Microsoft wants to watch you with Windows 10. It used to be
    when YOU were in control of what you wanted and how you wanted to present
    it. But now the spectrum controls you. Long live the days of old windows operating systems, DOS, and BBS's.
