It may seem snobish, but my main gripe with most of the web-forums I've seen is the people using them. There are far too many content-free "Me too" posts, which are horribly difficult to filter out (due to the poor UI). It's partly the web-forum's fault - the really bad ones have posts with some cute/animated smiley as the sole content. It's rare that usenet has such posts, because a colon and a right paren in text doesn't seem nearly as interesting as some saccarine singing, dancing, yellow blob. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
