Hi Les...  I think the folks here tend towards more QUALITY than quantity.  
IMHO, the internet NG's are a waste of time and $$$ as the SPAM has gotten so 
bad it's difficult to seperate the chaff from the wheat...  I had several of 
the hobby related
NG's coming in here for a while, but the XXX garbage posts
got so bad that I eventually unsubscribed them ALL and
switched to mailinglists...
I believe that FTS networks are STILL the way to go
for us SysOp/Hobby types.
Sincerely,
