I can't speak for most online services, but I find BIX to be
extremely valuable.  The people are nicer (and on the whole,
considerably more intelligent) than the people here on internet.
Furthermore, the technical level is much higher.  There is much
less noise on the system.  It runs $20-$30  per month (which is
probably beyond most student's budgets, I admit), but I find it
well worth it.  If I had to give up internet or BIX, I'd give up
internet first.  Internet is a great place to argue and make a fool
of one's self, BIX is a great place to get technical answers.
