    "Usenet" -- more properly, "the USENET" -- is not a "BBS".

    Thanks for responding, Senor El Sombrero. Any relation to El Dupree?

    This has been a test of the Usenet Bulletin Board System (BBS).

    "Usenet (/-eju-Ezn+ct/), short for User's Network, is a worldwide
    distributed discussion system available on computers.

    Users read and post messages (called articles or posts, and collectively termed news) to one or more topic categories, known as newsgroups.

    Usenet resembles a bulletin board system (BBS) in many respects and is
    the precursor to the Internet forums that were developed after the introduction of the World Wide Web.

    Discussions are threaded, as with web forums and BBSes, though posts are stored on the server sequentially. - Wiki

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usenet

    Survey says:

    gone
    gone again
    still gone again
    gone and gone some more

    Usenet is very much like a distributed bulletin board system. You read
    some of the weirdest postings from the strangest anonymous informants!

    Just like a Bulletin Board System (BBS) or modern internet forum, Usenet divides conversations into specific categories called newsgroups.

    Users connect to a server using a special app (called a newsreader) to
    read messages and post their own replies.

    Messages on specific topics are grouped into conversational threads so
    you can follow questions and answers easily.

    Still gone.

    more gone than ever.

    Probably a slow modem - up your game with a 56 bps.

    Probably your decrepit brain.

    gone.

    Creon: There is a USENET correspondent in this newsgroup that is "gone"
    and "crashed". He repeats ad nauseam arguments ad nauseam.
