I've never quite got the hang of the www forums - for some reason they
seem ***bersome compared to Usenet threads. I used to track a couple
other hobbies/interests thru Usenet and lost interest when the folks
there migrated to forums - some of which require "member****p".
WWW is a great resource, but to me, Usenet tends to have more of a
conversational quality that seems to flow better.
