Are there any statistics about the number of people who read LUGNET via NNTP
versus via the web interface? I always read via NNTP so spotlighting is
something which simply never occurs to me to do.
If other forums offered NNTP access I'd probably particpate more but I find
web based discussion boards extremely inefficient plus you can't read them
offline (like you can with a newsreader). I have to really run out of
things to do before I head into any the LEGO web based discussion boards but
I doubt my habits and preferences are typical.
