Right. Lloyd says that email is USENET, so it is. End of discussion.

Get a clue.

>but then, I use Pine and believe in mail-and-post.

And in doing so, you are ignorant of the difference between email and
news. You can thank Pine for your ignorance, or maybe not.

Huh?  Email is certainly NOT Usenet.  Email and Usenet are carried over the
same medium (Internet, UUCP, etc), but they are not the same thing.

Then kindly explain the existance of RFC822 and RFC1036. 

Tell me why smail cannot handle my Usenet feed. 

Tell me why inews fails to pass my email.

Tell me if you have ever administered a system dealing with both email
and Usenet.
