I'd also like to argue your "Usenet" claim. Usenet is still very much
alive and well. Notice how you are posting on it! Jes because most
web users have little of no knowledge of it, due to it's not being
trumpeted by some commercial entity with a $$$$ making agenda, doesn't
mean it is dead. What it means is, most of today's youth is too lazy
to carry on a civil conversation with actual syllables in the mix.
Note the "app" trap? Application apparently has waaay too many
syllables.

What cracks me up, is, they can't touch-type, but they can "txt" type
like the wind. Not sure if that is a step forward or back. Gee, too
bad the technologists can't come up with some sorta advanced device you could
jes talk into and the other party could talk back to you, like a real
convers.... wait a minute! 8|
