It seems a pity, as NNTP news is the way to chat, and it's efficient
so archives.  Idea that what people contribute is likely to be
valuable and adds to the knowledge and experience.

Problem is, when one of the new tools with "features" feels its time
is done and closes, all that knowledge which has gone there is done.

eg.
"ukwelder" closed its online forum and everyone who contributed that
experience and knowedge is gone.
