  For comparison, a text from 2001:

|Since Usenet was created in 1979, it has seen an impressive
|growth from a small academic community to a network used by
|millions of people from a wide variety of backgrounds all
|over the world. The total size of the data flowing through
|Usenet has been more than tripling every year between 1993
|and 2001.
