   I was unable to see Matt's reply to NOS, the page wouldn't scroll down that   
   far, until I clicked to reply. That's never happened before.   
      
   Nothing seems to work very well on the web anymore. Maybe it's become too big   
   to manage. Or maybe AI is unable to manage it well.   
      
   How is Usenet better than Google Groups? I've never used it.
