I thought this was garden banter

I think we've told you this before, it's not gardenbanter. This is a
newsgroup which existed long before that lamebrains website and is
completely independent of it.

It's much harder to make sense of branching threads on a web-based
bulletin
board layout, plus they always seem so slow and clunky. I can never see
why
anyone wants to use them if they can read and post to the same group via
newsreader software.

Most people are ignorant of the existence of news groups.

How do you know that?
