I find that this ng has a higher noise to signal ratio that most technical
groups.
Once a thread's gone past 10 posts or so it starts getting futile to follow
it any longer if you're after information.
Sometimes I feel like the ng should be called alt.www.flirting or
alt.www.one-up.
That being said, when you can find technical content, it's useful, thorough,
and well argued out.
The noise however prevents me from giving this group out to people looking
for technical reference sources.
YMMV
