I believe that until ClariNet, UUnet and similiar operations came along,
USENET was operated by a group of people as a good thing for which they
received no compensation. That strikes me an idealogy of sorts.
Now, this idealogy has changed such that people can make a buck. I suppose
this is similiar to the commericalization of the internet. What was once
mostly socialistic, is now capitalistic.
This is progress, I guess.
