Good question. Probably deal with new media on a case by case basis.
Unless of course you can find an identifier that means "USENET news feeds
but not type X news feeds". But that's what this debate is all about.

As I said, it was just a suggestion. Obviously some don't like it, so
unless there is other support for it, I withdraw it.

I suspect this debate will never be resolved until someone can give a
iron-clad 100% verifiable way to distinguish what USENET normally does
from what Walnut Creek does. Until someone does this, we are likely to
lose the baby when we throw out the bathwater.

Cheers,

Rhys.
