As for newsgroups, I do know how to use them, I just don't like them.
? What exactly don't you like about them? I have never heard that phrase in connection with the Usenet. Reminds me of when I was a kid and didn't know how to play poker. Guys would say, "Hey, let's go play poker!" and I'd reply "Nah, I don't really like poker very much. You go on ahead without me." Or is there really something about usenet that just sticks in your craw.
