I have to say that the uk.d-i-y one is by FAR the best.

Brilliant exchange of ideas and genuinely good advice.

A thank you to everyone over the years who has contributed and
helped me.

Have to agree it's a good usenet group ... been here since 1995 ...
when you had to use trn or similar to access.

The amount of off topic cross-posting seems to have reduced, (mainly
selling trainers/Rolex/Viagra or some Religious fanaticism) it got so
bad a while back I avoided using group for over a year.

That's because you never bothered to learn how to filter out such garbage,

again.
