Lemmy – or what was originally known as Usenet – was created in 1979. It predates the internet as we know it.
Not sure where you think email and FTP come into play. Usenet began with UUCP and later NNTP.
Lemmy was never known as Usenet.
It is the NiH syndrome attempt to recreate Usenet all over again. One would think the audience is smart enough to read between the lines, but then again, the audience doesn't understand the difference between the internet and services on the internet, so I suppose I wasn't smart enough to recognize that I couldn't be so generous. I too am part of the same audience.
I guess you're just too smart for people to understand.
