If you weren't already aware, a bunch of people who usually read
slashdot.org got frustrated and went back to Usenet, partly because of
the new slashdot beta interface Dice Media is imposing, partly because
we all suddenly remembered how much we love Usenet.

We all landed at comp.misc. If you love Usenet and want to contribute
to a community of people posting and commenting on tech stories, please
come join us.

A bit off topic, but I figure there are a fair number of techies here
who may be interested in the conversation.

Thanks for the heads-up.

Nice to hear people are waking up the benefits of Usenet! Good luck with
the new group. I for one have made a note of it.

YMYA.

For the avoidance of doubt, I was referring to comp.misc. I think my
first Usenet post was around 1983.
