My head is starting to spin with all this info...  Could someone who's
experienced with all or most of these be really nice and post a summary
(starting a new thread) where things are listed in an advantages/disadvantes
format?

   News  vs.  IRC  vs.  talkers  vs.  MUD/MUSH  vs.  (more if any)

   RFC standards and software compliance?  (platforms, OSs, etc.)

   Depth of discussions?  (single line  vs.  threaded  vs.  other)

   Multiple rooms/areas?

   Text or Graphical?

   Load on server?

   Packets across net?
