I'm neither pro or contra USENET here, but keep in mind, that the discussion
style would change slightly. In USENET it can take up to a day until everyone
can see the post. It's also possible that you see the answer to something w/o
seeing the original question yet. Nothing wrong with that, but it's something
different to how CCC works at the moment.

Also, messages which only make sense for a few minutes or hours (like
game-number of a certain game in ICC) won't be possible anymore. Some people
will consider this a good thing, others a bad thing.

Another point is that moderation as it works here won't work there. You either
have no moderation or you have a moderated group, where each post has to be
approved first before it gets forwarded to the group. (at least I think that's
how it works, please correct me if I'm wrong)
