The problems are twofold. Firstly, nobody knows about Usenet mainly
because isps are gradually closing their servers.
Secondly web forums have taken over.
I add here that I hate web forums as they tend to all have completely
different interfaces and are hard work for us blind.
Now we hear that Windows 7 will not have anews reader bundled. you have
to download one.

Well there you go, Will usenet go the same way as Gopher?


No idea - what's Gopher?

All I know is there is no fun in here but what I make! :-)

Not surprising really - once 'digital' gets a hold of anything, it all evens
out pretty quick and soon there is nothing to discuss. It's a pity *bland*
and uninteresting is an inescapable part of the 'digital equation'....
