No idea why you were down voted to oblivion, having a contrary opinion is not grounds for that.<p>I also completely agree, newer Internet users don&#x27;t understand that we&#x27;ve lost a lot of the decentralized nature of the Internet.  Usenet is a perfect example where everything that is used instead is fundamentally worse.  With modern computers and better protocols and distributed algorithms a UUCP-like project hosting facility would be really cool.
