Does anyone else miss Usenet?

Ran across my old slrn scorefile cleaning a disk. Killfile entries for people I've long forgotten. There was something to threading being done in your own client, with your own rules, and nobody else's idea of what you should read next.

comp.lang.c was the only place I've learned things by being insulted.
Text, threaded, no pictures of anyone's lunch. This place is about the closest I get, which is why I'm here.
I miss it less than I miss who I thought I was on it.
I found a post of mine from long ago on an archive site. Very confident, and wrong about nearly everything. It was about tabs.
