Yep. I thought this ng was really cool when I stumbled upon it.
And yep. I find I'm losing interest in not only this ng but ngs in general. There is just too much junk and nastiness to wade through anymore. I can remember when I first started using usenet. It was a considerably nicer environment then. Now it seems to be who can sit on the computer the most and make the rudest or crudest comments.

Like you, I am considering abandoning the net or at least a portion of it - usenet. The net itself has been quite useful for us in the past little while allowing us to track down hard to find appliance parts, get mapping directions, and I do like my ebooks in PDA format. We found this really neat website where I ordered a few appliance parts while still in my pjs. The parcel was in my postal box within 2 days! I was very impressed so I would still use it for that and I do like ebay. I think for finding info the net is great but maybe the chat-usenet thing is just wearing out for me. People will say things online they would never have the nerve to say directly to someone's face. For that reason alone, usenet is seriously becoming a waste of time if you post. If you just lurk or google, it isn't too bad.
