Hmm, I am not sure I have.
I have no experience with Usenet, but after some searching, I think that
Usenet is a lot more complex than this. Feel free to correct me if i'm
wrong though.

The main difference I found (quoted from Wikipedia):

When a user posts an article, it is initially only available on that
user's news server. Each news server talks to one or more other servers
(its "newsfeeds") and exchanges articles with them. In this fashion, the
article is copied from server to server and should eventually reach
every server in the network.


Also,  do any Usenet clients implement PGP?
