Probably the various OS groups, i.e. Alt.windows7.general (but not for a
while), several alt.os.linux.* groups (I dual boot Win7 and several
Linux', so am trying to learn linux stuff) and several ST groups
(although they are not real active).
The only Dr Who NG I have is alt.startrek.vs.dr.who, but posts there are
rare as hen's teeth!!
One of the groups I frequent was being targeted by some clown who might
contribute five lines that was on-topic but had a fifty line "Sig" that
prattled on about Jew v Arab/Palestine stuff. I suggested he should go
where that stuff would be On-Topic, like one of the alt-religion.*
groups, so I thought I'd check them out as well!! I'll get to them one day.
Of the eighty-odd groups on my UseNet server/account, there are about a
dozen groups that have some sort of regular traffic, another dozen or so
groups with occasional activity and about fifty/sixty that are virtually
dead!!
