The times I've look into Usenet to try to learn about it, the consistent takeaways I seemed to find were: 1) it isn't moderated, 2) there are barriers to gaining access (cost and availability), and 3) it tends to be full of stuff you wouldn't want anyway (i.e.: spam and kiddie porn).

These things place it at the top of my "not worth it" list.
