No, that's the other way around: Yahoo groups are somewhat similar to
usenet groups.  Usenet existed even before the Internet!!!

When A is similar to B, B is similar to A. There's no time arrow in
the definition of similarity :)

Was the past similar to the present, or is the past only *now* similar to the
present, now that the present is actually occurring and we can observe its
similarity to the past?

Both start to be similar to each other at the same exact moment :)

Emacs and Usenet groups

Hi

I am new to the concept of usenet groups. I know they're somewhat similar to
Yahoo groups...but that some of the groups are public.

I use Google groups to browse some usenet groups, but I'd like to do it with
Emacs Gnus. Can someone help me with configuring gnus on emacs to add some
usenet groups and read/send messages.
