Easy. Start your own forum on the net (or find one for your particular
architecture).
I've found that the technical content in such forums to be *much* higher
than
even the moderated newsgroups; and much more focused, too.
The newsgroups *used* to be an important place to obtain technical
information.
The explosion of the world-wide web destroyed that. You can generally get
an answer to a technical question much more rapidly in other locations on
the
net.

Now the newsgroups are more of a social phenomenon rather than a good
source of technical information.
Cheers,
Randy Hyde
