Chance'd be a fine thing. c.s.u became usable for me
around 2 years ago when the noise off-topic goings-on
and cross-posting began to outweigh by far the already
limited signal available there.

c.s.f, when last I looked involved little more than
questions from people demanding help with Windows
packet filters and "IDS"es.

I would rather the chance of an intelligent question
posed on either group getting a good answer, or provoking
an interesting discussion somewhere below 30%.

But maybe I just need a better newsreader.

Matthew.
