Just how worthless is ARBR?

I would like to propose that ARBR is the most worthless newsgroup that has

jokester (Tom Sherman) and a cretinous lout (Harry Brogan of Lincoln,
Nebraska). I defy anyone to find me a more worthless newsgroup!

Was ARBR ever any good? Well, at one time in the long ago it was not too bad
provided you could overlook all the Bush bashing. By the time Ed Dolan the
Great had cleaned out this Augean stable there were damn few intelligent
souls left. It may be that Bryant Ball of BROL was right in that only
liberals will post to a newsgroup.[...]

That should be "Bryan Ball", not "Bryant Ball".

The group was much better during the Clinton Administration. The
divisiveness of the US introduced with the Bush II campaign started the
decline.

That was before my time here on ARBR, but I suspect all of Usenet has been
steadily going downhill from day one. I like the Groucho Marx comment that
he would not belong to a group that would have him. That sure does describe
all of Usenet. I go along with Somerset Maugham who said he was not a
clubbable man.
