User talk:David Vogelpohl

what is going on on the usenet provider side is very interesting, the trend now in the center there is a relatively big company, it may buy smaller usenet providers keeping them separate but frequently supplying data from the same data center and/or it may artifically create resellers or make use of resellers, a lot of intrigue is going on, all maybe is caused by fierce competition for customers since the Usenet user base is rather stagnant or shrinking because of competition with modern p2p as to binaries and all kinds of forums or socializing sites as to text. many small providers have disappeared during last years, new providers unlikely to catch up and to play significant role since the user base is limited so those are mostly resellers.

maybe it makes sense to create a topic about usenet providers in general, "list of usenet providers" but going beyond shallow enumeration.

advertising kills Usenet, hopefully wikipedia will be a some kind of remedy to the plague.

if you reread the changes, they are not promotion, but rather the opposite, in its past form the article is a promotion i tried to make it a little more balanced.

the subject matter is a concrete commercial company, so unless a whole article is deleted (which is maybe the right thing to do), it should be objective at least.

if you make a little research all the data is easily verifiable.
