My introduction to Usenet came at UNH, first semester freshman year.
I just kept on cd'ing around, getting myself acquainted with the
directory structure.  At some point, I stumbled across a Usenet spool
directory and noticed that there were all of these files out in this
directory -- sometimes new files appeared, and sometimes old files
disappeared.  I knew it wasn't BITNET, and this could only be a Good
Thing.

I actually lurked on Usenet this way for a while until I mistyped "rm"
one day and found a "proper" newsreader...  (-:
