Dear big eight management team. Crimes have been committed against me and until I feel fully compensated for the damages that have occurred I have no choice but to continue to post about the truth and how far off the charter this news group is. I don'tknow if there's an actual owner but if there is then how does it generate income from this news group?

USENET management committee has reconvened and there are green shoots of growth in the original, pre-World Wide Web social network.
USENET, or NetNews, is a text-only social discussions forum, or rather a
set of a great many forums, called "newsgroups," carried by multiple
servers around the world. Although the original developers closed down
their instance in 2010, that was just one server out of hundreds, and
many are still running just fine. It never went away – it's still alive, you can get on it for free, and there is a choice of client apps for
most OSes to help you navigate.
Although USENET is a decentralized, peer-to-peer network, the Big-8
board is the closest thing it has to a central governing authority.
Board member Tristan Miller told The Reg: "Jason Evans and I
re-established the Board in 2020, after a long period of dormancy. We
were joined a few months later by Rayner Lucas."
Among other things, the board manages the list of newsgroups, and now
that there's an active board again, it has been busy. It deleted some
very old groups at the moderators' request, and added the first new
newsgroup in many years for the Gemini protocol. If you have a News
client, news:comp.infosystems.gemini ought to open it. The board has
also revamped the website, run a Reddit Ask Me Anything session, updated
the GNU Stump and WebStump packages used by moderators, and more.
USENET is older than the web, and works more like email: servers carry a
list of newsgroups, and sync messages with each other.
(One of the things that contributed to the downfall of USENET was when
people worked out how to post binary files, encoded as multi-part blocks
of ASCII text. It still has piracy problems but you can just ignore that stuff. It was also the venue for the first spam message in internet
history.)

I'm not sure why Darlene posts off-topic articles to soc.penpals
except to open discussion on an off-topic matter.
Except, it's on-topic with the new charter propositions being
made. I guess that is her "yes" vote.
BTW, Darlene: the Big 8 probably doesn't read this group.
