said by Attack Gypsy:People say newsgroups are stronger than ever. I disagree.
I used to work for a large cable service. In the year and a half I was there, I got exactly 2 newsgroups calls, and they were both about outages.
2 calls compared to over 20,000 calls taken? If newsgroups are so popular, the law of averages doesn't seem to working here.
I had other associates who had never fielded a single newsgroups call.
(This is not a newsgroups bash, I love them myself.)
Could it be that most of the people who know how to use Usenet are on the higher end of Internet Literacy?
