Domain names are not required to use Usenet. In fact I think Usenet
existed before DNS did; the first RFCs discussing the domain name
system date from 1982-1983, whereas Usenet was invented in late 1979.
Richard> Any news server has to have a domain name,
untrue. Nothing on the Internet _has_ to have a domain name, you can
refer to everything just by plain IP addresses if you want.
Furthermore, Usenet can be carried over links other than the Internet,
e.g. UUCP, gatewayed through email systems or bulletin boards, or in
extreme cases distributed by floppy or magtape.
Get a Clue, fuckwit, and stop babbling nonsense about things that you
clearly know nothing about.
