That's your opinion, and you're entitled to it. However, it is not
Wikipedia policy.
Sean, I've asked three or four times if anyone can point me to any
part of Wikipedia policy that states or implies that Usenet is an
acceptable source, and so far, no one has done so. My understanding of
the policy pages (e.g. WP:NOR) is that it's not, and I sent you a link
to the section that seems to back me up. It doesn't mention Usenet
explicitly, but the description of what type of source is acceptable
would definitely exclude it. I'd say you're the one operating on the
basis of your opinion only, not me. But if I'm wrong, show me.
