Wot a waste
Joined the forum a few months ago hoping for useful information and
shared interests to do with cycling. Seems most of the active posters are busy ranting and tryin to score points. How boring is that! I'm off -- bye |

Usenet is unmoderated, and this NG attracts various people whose intent is to disrupt - aka trolls. A poor web interface will not help control this, whereas using it via a decent newsreader will allow you to ignore the crap and get on with the useful bits. clive |

What a waste of space. i read/post via google groups when out and about and it's a shocker how much crap is there, so yes Rob is on the money there. usenet does take some effort, at least in the setting up. roger -- www.rogermerriman.com |
