Hi,
Newsgroups are dying a bit now, though have been using them for over 10 years.
(around when I was 13!!!)
Basically I like newsgroups because you can subscribe to the group without too
much fuss, you can look up groups on the server and subscribe to it without
anyone knowing you are reading it, and you can see what is posted there before.
Andrew.

Andy, you might have a bit more luck searching with Google or similar - all
kinds of sites provide newsgroups. Must agree, though, that mailing lists
are a lot more approachable.
