And many other web forums and e-mail mailing lists. Too
bad, the dilution has also meant fragmenting of the photo
community. I think many users got fed up with the problems
of Usenet although this and the large-format group have
always been quite well behaved. The moderated forums and
lists do not have trouble with uncontrolled flame wars and
spam which makes them attractive to many. APUG, to which I
subscribe, has devided its catagories too much IMO. For
instance, there are several darkroom groups, one for large
format, another for 35mm, another for printing, another for
contact printing. There are often subjects which are of
interest to subscribers in more than one catagory so one
must keep track of several to know what is going on. The
rec.photo groups are also catagorized but much more broadly.
I used to follow several of the rec.photo groups but now
read only darkroom and large-format partly because I haven't
time to look at more and partly because the content has
thinned out pretty much. I belong to several e-mail lists.
Those also take time to read but, in general, have more
content. I belong to a few web forums but don't very often
visit them. Again, its time but also the subject
fragmentation of most of them makes reading difficult.
I will continue to participate in the Usenet groups as
long as there is activity.
