But is it 'audio', Usenet or the the Internet generally?

These days I do most of my posting to HTML-based forums.
They seem to be pretty active. The market for audio
forums has become very fragmented.

No idea, I've never looked into an audio forum only
photography forums, but there's *gazillions* of them, so
I'm sure you're right.

I don't like forums. I don't like the 'clicky' nature of
most of the ones I've seen (photography) and the
*hideous* 'sucky up' posts from people trying to get
'in'! (Especially when it's sucky up posts from Brits and
Yanks trying to get in with raggedy-arsed, newly-bold
Eurotrash!)

I don't get this. All I did to get into the forums I'm on is type in my
email address and a password that I made up.


Oh, well done! You'll be on *joined up* writing soon....

(WTF has his *login* got to do with anything???)



I also don't like those stupid little boxes you have to type in!

I guess I'm a bit more flexible than that.


I'm happy that you're happy with them....



And I *definitely* don't like being moderated - I got
kicked out of the last crappy (commercially based) forum
I was in by a Hungarian (would you believe?) for calling
an Eyetie a 'prick'!

I can believe that.


He was a prick; almost certainly still *is* a prick and he guessed correctly
(from experience, I guess) that his 'in crowd' status would protect him from
getting his *prickiness* hauled all over the forum - and subsequent, direct
emails from other forum members confirmed I'm not the only one who thinks
he's a prick.

Does that represent a problem to you?



It's true that most HTML forums moderate retroactively, and do expect some
minimum level of adult behavior. I can see how that would be difficult for
you, Keith.


Good, coming from you....
