I agree.  I do NOT visit HTML based groups at all.  WAY too slow and
inefficient. I only frequent NNTP based groups.

I also teach at two Online universities.  One uses NNTP and the other
uses HTML.  I interact with my students nearly an order of magnitude
more on the NNTP classes, simply because there is almost no overhead to
reading and responding to messages.  The HTML classes are such a PITA to
enter and hold discussions, that I only do the bare minimum required.
