Personally, I find forums a lot more useful ... people actually post informative replies and genuinely want to help with problem. That, and a general chatty feel. Usenet seems sooooooo bogged down with keeping on topic, signal/noise ratio, blah blah blah ... so much so that the original post is somewhat lost by the third or fourth reply. I still use a.a.s. when researching something, but if I want to ask a question that I do want an answer to, I use http://www.saabcentral.com/ as an international forum, http://www.uksaabs.co.uk/ as my national forum and http://www.900aero.com/ for something APC/performance related. I frequent other forums for other reasons, but will rarely post anything on a.a.s. nowadays - no point in my opinion. That said, others may have a reason and point to post here, so I do continue to read this newsgroup and contribute where I feel I can be pertinent and useful. Shame, really, we had a reasonable "community" here not so long back. It might well come back ... the internet does swing back and forth ...
