   Ok, I'll bite. Here's my take on the whole oddly territorial feelings   
   the regs have for a newsgroup: its daft. Newsclients (most if not all)   
   have filters built in so theres no need to read anything you dont want to :)   
   The sole attraction of web forums is the ability to moderate. This   
   ability opens up the problem of Groupthink becoming the norm. For   
   independent free-thinkers such as myself, that makes such forums quite   
   unattractive. Sheep flock together. Wolves *work* together, but they   
   also argue & fight.
