<Usenet, history> The flag day in 1986 on which all of the non-local
groups on the Usenet had their names changed from the net.- format to the
current multiple-hierarchies scheme. Used especially in discussing the history
of newsgroup names. "The oldest sources group is comp.sources.misc; before the
Great Renaming, it was net.sources."
