But what I'd like to know is, with the group uk.comp.sys.mac
catering for the needs of UK mac users (with emphasis on the
G3, G4 and above), why do people continue to use this mailing
list? Is the advantage of idiot control (no spammers, address
harvesters or cross-platform flame wars) more inportant than
the opportunity to get out there and provide help to new Mac
users in a forum that is much easier to find?
Do you mean uk.comp.sys.mac is easier to find? To be honest, I didn't
know about that newsgroup, but that's probably due to me long ago giving
up on newsgroups because I got fed up with the low signal-to-noise
ratio. I don't tend to use many web-forums either - I can just about
cope with the 30 or so mailing lists that I'm on.
With Thunderbird being able to handle newsgroups I might give it another
go one of these days, but it's low priority.
