Usenet
It is fitting that the history of Usenet be written in its own medium, and by those who built it from their own commitment and sense of community. To that end, the Echo team has created this survey to record the memories of the "early adopters" of Usenet. We feel that future generations will be interested in reading about what it was like to participate in a major part of the Internet explosion. Please answer as many of these questions as you like.
