Where in this particular case the "more modern" is more awkward to use,
slower and generally more crap. Sort of a Thamslink Trains vs. the
Brighton Belle... "more modern" and "more fashionable" is not
necessarily better.

The easiest way to demonstrate the superiority of usenet over any web
forum I've yet seen is look at uk.rec.cycling through a news feed and
through the web interface cyclingforums have put onto the newsfeed to
present the same posts.
