About all I use CI$ for these days is trying to pull certain stories off ENS.
I've kind of gotten burned out on PARTI (which is what got me on CI$ in the
first place - I was on the Source before. But ultimately the whole confusion
about the buyout of the Source was what got me looking into Usenet, so....).
I was in HSX for a few months, but was locked out of their forum when I
(horrors) used someone's last name (they decided out of the blue to use
12-step notation and forbid the use of last names).

I never got into the NAUG forums on CI$ very deeply. I considered it once, but
Joe Kohn told me the Apple II area on CompuServe is a waste of time. And at $12
an hour, of money too. And the way messages scroll off on that system is
horrendous - if you're not on every single day you are sure to miss someone's
posting; you'd think with the money they charge they could put some more
capacity in their systems. Oh well, I'm sure some suckers will stay with
CI$ city. As it is, they're the only ones I know of who have newswire clipping,
so that's really the only reason I'm on there anymore.
