ouch ! it sounds so broken !

At this point, I'm really wondering if it's worth to use newsgroup...

There're currently a lot of broken things when using newsgroups:

  - 'Reference:' field may be rewritten,

  - it takes so much time for an article to reach the news server,

  - not very convenient to discuss with people who don't use news
    groups.

Am I missing something ?
