One of the seasonal rhythms of the
Usenet used to be the annual September influx of clueless newbies who,
lacking any sense of <a href="../N/netiquette.html"><i class="glossterm">netiquette</i></a>, made a general
nuisance of themselves. This coincided with people starting college,
getting their first internet accounts, and plunging in without bothering to
learn what was acceptable. These relatively small drafts of newbies could
be assimilated within a few months. But in September 1993, AOL users
became able to post to Usenet, nearly overwhelming the old-timers' capacity
to acculturate them; to those who nostalgically recall the period before,
this triggered an inexorable decline in the quality of discussions on
newsgroups. Syn. <span class="firstterm">eternal
September</span>.
