There are way too many sites that have great forums ... and very active ones
at that. But way too many egos and false accounts made Usenet quite absurd
and well ... useless. Plus your email is out there unless you fix it ...
lots of Spam is indirectly from UseNet.

Top three in no particular order:

regional groups.

news
I have noticed a sever shortage of good beer groups on Usenet. Do you
think
this is because there are too many so the participants are too scattered
or
are people just not interested in beer?
