I don't see Google "converting" Usenet into anything, especially chat.
Usenet has been around since long before the Internet and it'll still be
here long after the Internet as we know it today is gone.
What I do see Google doing is blurring the distinction between its own
Google Groups and *our* Usenet newsgroups for their own gain and that
doesn't sit well with me. That's basically the main reason I use XNA, I
simply don't agree with or like what they are doing with the Usenet so I
don't want them archiving my posts.
