[unimpressive]

I'm kind of offended that you seem to think young people can't be aware of things that happened before their time.

EDIT: To elaborate a bit, my expectation would be that the sort of young person using HN leans more historically interested than normal. Is more likely to appreciate the value of things like Internet archive, etc. Usenet is a huge part of digital history, and the fact that it's not available even though archives were kept is something of a tragedy.
