No, it's not. That's "Usenet" (ie, a proper noun), and it isn't necessarily
congruent with the Internet. otoh, not many lists are actually gated to
Usenet (gmane nntp is NOT Usenet).
And I completely disagree, anyway. I pick Usenet, or its analogues for
list discussion whenever possible. Much more convenient.
