So we don't have to re-invent the wheel. Usenet has tradionally
gone down the direction of storing files in human readable form and
it has had in the past problems with the OS not being able to cope
with xxxx thousand articles in a directory. Also searching and
querying are integeral to a database and are far easier and faster to
use then trying to grep a massive directory.
