From what I've read, most of the respondents here are of former TMO status, so it figures. What seems to be important here is not what's written, but the number of posts.
Vast emptiness, nothing useful. There's a limit on the number of postings on Google Groups as well and apparently you can't reply to any posts older than sixty days. Both Yahoo and Google suck as discussion groups, in my opinion. The only way to carry on a real conversation is by using Usenet and a stand-alone newsreader like Xnews for PCs or Hogwash for Macs. Both Google and Yahoo suck up to China's rulers and their restrictions on free speech. What's up with that?
