Newsgroups dead? Was: pantry moths?

Sadly, I've just about decided that Usenet newsgroups are no longer worth it: too many spammers, trolls, stalkers, other problems (including the surreptitious harvesting of whole groups for commercial websites), very poor noise/signal ratio, etc. etc. I have participated in Usenet newsgroups for over 15 years, but I just don't think (right now) that they are any longer a productive use of time. So I've pretty much switched to mailing lists instead. I still read this group from time to time. I skipped the whole eternal cross-posted thread.... ugh. That was a beautiful, perhaps classic, example of why I don't think newsgroups a worthwhile use of time at present. Maybe I'll change my mind in the future, but right now, that's how I see it. If you want to know my recommendations for mailing lists, please email me privately. My address in this message is real. Cheers! Pat Copyright © 2003 Patricia Meadows All Rights Reserved |
