Well, I do try to limit the number of things I pay attention to.  However,
as the "Python guy" at work, participating in this group and the python-dev
mailing list overlap my daytime duties.  There are a few other things I
watch as well (matplotlib, pygtk, moin, scipy, etc).  Running through all of
them in one place simplifies my life.  Last time I checked, most of Usenet
was crap (overrun with spam), so on those few occasions where I need
something I just use Google to search for help and post via Google or Gmane.
I never have to worry about NNTP.  I have no idea if my ISP (Comcast) even
provides NNTP access.
