Usenet

Though this has been posted to YouTube by others, it was actually me who made it. I released it on Usenet in August of 2000. It was my contribution to the “wassup” spoof trend before it became old meme. (Yes, that week.) The low quality is due to the fact that the original video was only 160×120. (That was an Internet video ten years ago!) I edited photos into the different frames I needed, saved them as bitmaps, and then assembled everything in a cranky old version of Adobe Premiere for Windows. Here’s the original Usenet thread in which I released this under my old screenname: groups.google.com For more info on the original ad this is spoofing, see en.wikipedia.org Dedicated with love to all the lunatics from turn-of-the-Millennium rec.arts.drwho !

Question by interactive_net: What to do when I post serious Usenet messages but some user/s hassle by subject changing my post to “SPAM”?
I post on unmoderated Usenet groups. Not only the specific user/s change subject line, they also say “SPAM” only on message body. What can I say on the Usenet when this victimisation happens?
