By way of starkly refreshing contrast, _this_ recent thread on one of the
adult operating system newsgroups shows what a Usenet thread _should_ be!

*Why does Google Maps on phone require access to my contacts to load an offline map*
  <https://groups.google.com/g/comp.mobile.android/c/3PDPFoNTU2M>

Adults will notice how _everyone_ acted like an adult in that thread, 
and where tons of useful information was purposefully helpfully shared,
which is representative of what threads are like on the adult operating
system newsgroups (i.e., Windows, Android, and Linux newsgroups).

As just one indicator of the value people habitually add on the adult
operating system newsgroups, see this set of old & new illustrative shots

In summary, when the dozen apologists below are _not_ on a Usenet newsgroup
thread, the conversation is purposefully helpful and informative for all.

Alan Baker, Alan Browne, Chris, Haemactylus, Joerg Lorenz, Jolly Roger,
Lewis, nospam, Rod Speed, Savageduck, Wade Garrett, Wolffan, Your Name, 
et al.

Apologists alone are why Apple newssgroups are a kindergarten cesspool.
