Cycling Forums

OK. Stupid question time.
How do you (can you) access this newsgroup using "cycling.forums.com".
I've looked a couple of times and I have not been able to find it.

Nope, direct usenet clients are far far more efficient for these text
discussions. The same as plain text vs html emails.

Learn how real internet geeks post and stop being wimpy! :P

Heh. I do have xterm (and hence slrn) configured to display green on
black. Easy on the eyes. Good for someone who wastes so much time at
teh UNSENET.

And you can draw ascii art.

Sorry, I can't hear you. I'm busy posting this by flipping an
occulting disk in front of the laser pointer that's pointing down my
gigabit fibre link.

Hey, I don't have any problem with people who want to use cyclingforums
as an interface to usenet. But hell will freeze over before I give up a
using dedicated software actually designed to read usenet. Cyclingforums
is like using a comfort bicycle to race a crit.

Well, teensy problems with poor quoting and gratuitous automatic use
of tinyurl.

All my other froup denizens are complaining about USENET dying[1].
Seems soon there'll only be news.individual.net, a few universities,
and nothing else.

[1] Here's a graph I produced earlier for rec.humor.oracle.d:
http://rather.puzzling.org/~tconnors/rhod.png
Postings per month, with exponential growth and decay, and an
explosion corresponding to the approximate time I was introduced to
usenet. Seriously, within a month. That's just crazy. It wasn't
just me, though.
