I'm just wondering why you say if Cornell University flipped the switch, there would be no more usenet? My understanding of usenet servers is that they get their feeds from other usenet servers. So if I post to one, it is sent to another and then another and so forth. Isn't it just one big spider web of usenet connections with no central hub?
