Well, that rule has been mostly tongue in cheek as you are probably aware, but perhaps Usenet will once again become useful to more folks. I have never veered away from it since I discovered it in the late 90's. I suppose that makes me a part of the ES group? I'm quite glad to have discovered it. You do now have to pay to use it, but the cost is mild and the tools are all modernized with plenty of web front-ends out there.

You rule.
I stay away from Usenet because I'm particularly susceptible to it as a time sink. It's worse than Lemmy, than Mastodon; I can spend hours in Usenet, and I'm really incapable of not doing that when I have access to it.
But I'm really glad it's still active.
