Not to my recollection. I mainly hung out on the comp.* and alt.best.of.internet groups. Together with another member we wrote the original aboi FAQ.

Edit:

Here's something I wrote about it on another platform:

    I never experienced Usenet, but seems like I have been hearing it mentioned more and more lately as the fediverse continues to grow. Never really thought about it being like an email chain of comments.

    The early internet required so much more patience and attention just to use it for any reason, let alone as a way to communicate back and forth with other people in real(ish) time. We take it for granted.
