The closer analogy would be "Doesn't email obsolete Usenet?". But it still would not be apposite, for ctm deltas are delivered by ftp *or* by email, so that ctm subsumes both of the analogous roles. "Could not a form of email which offer both push and pull access modes obsolete Usenet?" I think it could, all other things being equal, were my mail categorized automatically and the availability of all selective modes of content selection insured.
