I like Usenet too, but you and I may be in a minority. ;)  Spam and
aggression seem to be two reasons Usenet has fallen out of favor.

There is comp.sys.mac.hypercard which sometimes serves as a general xTalk
discussion group.

But if the audience warrants it I'd subscribe.  Let me know if you start
one.
