FTP is great if  you are looking for an excuse to  twiddle your thumbs 15
minutes at work while reading the  paper. TALK only works with one person
at a time and is very slow,  plus your correspondent gets to see all your
typos. Have you ever tried sending a MODULE file via mail?

You have no  control over a public usenet newsgroup,  no matter where the
newsgroup control message that created it originates from. Not to mention
the time it takes to get one approved.
