If you only ever came to uk.railway via Google Groups, you probably
wouldn't even know what Usenet is. To someone who is used to Google
Groups, Yahoo! Groups and web-based discussion forums, Usenet
newsgroups must seem particularly odd.


Yes, that describes me exactly. Perhaps someone could outline the
benefits of Usenet. Would anyone recommend that I change over to it -
and if so how? I have to say that I'm perfectly satisfied with Google
groups so I don't have any basic inclination to change; and Google
evidently has the distinct advantage of concealing unwanted stuffing.
