Being an old usenet fan myself, I could not agree more. Usenet is now a barren no-mans' land, (fortunately and unfortunately) useful only for things not fit in civilized society.
Useful and meaningful discussions long ago morphed into moderated bbs's. The best ones, like those on TSN, have a clear purpose and consistent editing vision. The crappy ones try to make up for their deficiencies with goofy graphics and gimmickry.
