   I'll stay around, there is too much nostalgia in the Usenet for me to   
   abandon it completely.

   I never understood why other mycologists couldn't see the great   
   advantages with Usenet, and I still don't. So easy and ready to use -   
   but maybe too difficult to control..? The many web forums has resulted   
   in lots of new participants, but also in splitting resources. That's a   
   pity.
