Haven't spent that much time in Usenet for a while and having recently re-subbed to News.Individual.Net, I'd be interested to know what compelling 'general interest' newsgroups (eg. uk.d-i-y) people are using these days that I may not be aware of?



Obviously it's a case of to each his own taste. These are the ones I currently sub to / lurk in:



uk.tech.broadcast uk.tech.digital-tv alt.pcnews uk.d-i-y uk.media.radio.bbc-r2 uk.media.radio.bbc-r4 uk.media.tv.misc uk.people.silversurfers uk.telecom uk.telecom.broadband uk.telecom.mobile



Any other recommendations? TIA.


You forgot free.uk.diy.nuclear-device

NT

Place for right-wing nutters.

Place for spam.

Both reasonable newsgroups but not a lot of traffic nowadays.

uk.comp.homebuilt

comp.misc alt.folklore.computers

If you're that way inclined.

alt.folklore.computers comp.risks

Worth noting that comp.risks is available as a mailing list.
