    I think you have forgotten Bandygrams. There was never a time when
    everyone on Usenet was polite and reasonable. Knowledgeable, maybe.

    I first posted to Usenet in 01992, but Bandygrams were in the early
    01980s. For a number of years, it was possible to read early Usenet via DejaNews and then Google Groups, but that does not work well anymore, so
    if you missed out on reading early 80s Usenet, it may be quite a while
    before you find out what a Bandygram is.
