I heard Kim tell a caller that Newsgroups were full of viruses and he should avoid them at all cost! Guess the alt.hardware and alt.support and forums are evil groups?? Problem is, nobody wants to educate new users of how to get around in Newsgroups because of the porn and piracy except beyond this, there are some helpful groups too. As more companys develop forums though, and less education to new users is given on Usenet, it probably will just float away in a giant spam turd flush? We'll be the ones still using it like our parents still have Vinyl records!
