Yeah, I agree,

This reeks of technology for technology's sake. If a pynchon newsgroup is to
be formed, what would it be hoping to achieve? And would it be worth the
additional hassles which the usenet involves?(most of which are pretty
obvious - spams, cross posting - "how to make money fast" kind of stuff)

And even if your prepared for that kind of ambience, who's got the time? I
don't know about anyone else, but technostress hit critical mass for me
about a year ago and I still haven't caught back up.

Right, got that off my chest now back to sleep:)
