Registering does not deactivate your usenet account.

Primarily 'cuz I'm just not into "registering"

I do agree about the clumsiness of web-based fora as also being a
disadvantage, though, altho that's not the prime reason I won't be
registering it's a pretty strong disincentive to use such.

I don't disagree with you.

I have yet to see forum software (and I've looked at a lot of it) that
is as easy as good old text-based usenet.

I just don't have time for web-based forums, so will not be
participating.

I'll admit to rarely actively participating in one, but I do like to
lurk, particularly through an RSS feed. Still, I'd like to see guys like
Brian succeed, not only because he's proven to know his stuff, but you
never can tell where you just might pick up a nugget of information that
will save your bacon on that next project.

Intelligence is an experiment that failed - G. B. Shaw

[John Shear]

I want to have 1 good source of information on woodworking topics, and
rec.woodworking used to be THE best place to find that. When I first
got internet, all the expertise was concentrated in one newsgroup. Now
we have a plethora of forums and the expertise is spread all over. How
annoying. R.W is still a great source nonetheless, and I hope we can
keep the level of expertise up as the older guys drop off over time.
There's already too many forums and creating more is just
counter-productive.
At least Google helps find good info that's spread all over.

Not really, but it sure was a good one. It's just that back then, we hadn't
even figured out how to find all the other good ones. There was a ton of
specific newsgroups, but it was indeed a pain in the ass to find them. This
really was a good catch all, but there were other groups that were very good
in their own specific interests.

got internet, all the expertise was concentrated in one newsgroup.

Well - only because as we enter into this stuff, we do so gingerly. There
was a lot more expertise out there, that you did not know about, but it was
almost overwhelming to find it.

Now we have a plethora of forums and the expertise is spread all
over. How annoying.

Now it's time for my famous two words... "Preach It Brother!". Ok - three
words...

R.W is still a great source nonetheless, and I
hope we can keep the level of expertise up as the older guys drop off
over time.

Ugh-oh... don't be saying that ****...

There's already too many forums and creating more is just
counter-productive.

Amen!

The Wreck puts "People First"--just like Suzy Orman! : )

For various reasons, you won't find that in too many places.

Further, the developers of such software seem to go out of their way to
make it difficult to write offline readers for it. The concern, I
suspect, is that the offline reader will also block the advertising.

It's bloody frustrating because there's no way to do a proper killfile.
