Wow, that's pretty amazing! I have to say it, Cox really seems to have
gotten their act together for the most part. The only foul up on their
part was outsourcing Usenet to Limewire which I now refer to as Useless
Usenet.

Limewire..... Usenet....? I don't see a relation between the
two.

NNTP == Network News Transfer Protocol

NNTP == Usenet

This group, rec.food.cooking is a Usenet group.

Limewire is a Usenet provider among other things. Cox used to internally
manage Usenet traffic and then outsourced it.

Yes - I know what the NNTPO stands for quite well. I also know
that LimeWire is a company making P2P software for the Gnutella
network.

But I can't find any reference to any company called Limewire
that is providing Usenet service.
