Among the SX sites, that site may stick out a bit in a positive direction (enthusiasm for helping and being active rather than just showing off we-know-what-it's-about and collecting "reputation"), however compared to the culture of Usenet it is still just a web wiki-like interface to a home page! If you skim thru the jargon file you will see it says over and over "this was first discussed on the newsgroup X" or "this term refers to a person on a newsgroup that always does this and that" etc. Also Usenet was/is distributed and growing in that there were/are new newsgroups all the time and people doing their crazy stuff all over. That's cyberpunk warriors compared to the typical stinking intellectuals that cannot do laundry that prefer the SX sites were they can boast their silly "reputation". As a reference accessible thru Google tho they have certainly helped me many times googling error messages. As has messages on listbots/newsgroups archives (sometimes even written by me) appearing by the same method... -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573
