Denounce Newswire

Description

Denounce was started in 1980 on the PLATO system at the University of Delaware as a satire of =announce=, the system notesfile where users could read about PLATO system changes, outages, new software installations, new features, etc. Prime candidates for satirization. =denounce= was inspired by another humor notesfile on PLATO called =grapenotes=.

The Denounce website was launched in 1996 to carry on the tradition of the original =denounce= notesfile -- but instead of parodying PLATO system announcements (which by 1995 were, well, few and far between), the website decided to take on the next best thing -- the computer and internet industry.
