I agree.  What was wrong with nntp that everybody decided to go to this
web-based discussion group nonsense instead?  I suspect it's a matter of
fashion: if it's not web-based it must not be good or some similarly
faulty reasoning.  I have nothing against the WWW, but it's not God's own
answer to every question possible.  For text-based discussion you still
can't beat nntp.
