I first hit the internet in around 1996 and newsgroups were great. Newsreader software made reading them a pleasure and the signal to noise was reasonably good.

Now they're all (the Oracle ones and another I used to visit - soc.culture.irish) full of spam and the browser interface was a giant step backwards.
Ah well, at least we have stackexchange (unfortunately browser based, but with Javascript, it's not too bad).
This is my last visit to comp.databases.oracle.* Received on Sun Aug 24 2014 - 06:09:50 CEST
