I browse a dozen or so newsgroups & a couple of blogs. I used to post a fair amount on rec.music.folk until the Mudcat sucked all the juice out of it. I still post a fair amount on alt.usage.english. Occasionally on soc.motss, alt.suicide.holiday, and some of the Gnuish ngs. I used to be a regular on alt.books.george-orwell but it got taken over by boors. I used to be a regular on the Bears Mailing List but it got taken over by copyright prigs & recently Hurricane Katrina pretty near did it in.
