I agree with Tim May that Usenet newsgroups can do the job of a
global message pool. However, it takes too damn long to get a reply.
It typically takes 3 to 4 days before I see replies to messages I
post to Usenet. I wouldn't want to use Usenet for one-on-one
communication. I'd prefer a network of indexed message pools like I
described in an earlier post.
