Answer 1

Answer:

Usenet is a collection of message normally text posted by individuals to a news server.

Answer 2

A usenet is a collection of messages normally text posted by individuals to a news server.

• Usenet is a set of protocols used to create, save, and retrieve news "articles" (which resemble Internet mail messages) and exchange them with a readership that may be geographically dispersed.
• The flooding mechanism that these protocols most frequently employ spreads copies throughout a network of cooperating servers.
• A message is forwarded to all of a server's network neighbors who haven't yet seen it whenever it reaches a server.
• Only one copy of a message is kept on each server, and each server makes it available to readers who can access it (usually local readers) on demand.
• The collection of Usenet servers thus has a certain peer-to-peer character in that they exchange resources to share resources, but the granularity of exchange is different from a modern peer-to-peer system, and this characteristic excludes the actual users of the system who connect to the news servers with a typical client-server application, much like an email reader.
