This might be true, but I think the restriction to register in order to
post limits the people willing to register there. On mikrocontroller.net
there are often quite interesting postings by guest users. I did post
there, too, at some point.

It actually does make it better. However, it still lacks clean threading
as provided in Usenet and mailing lists. I enjoy that kind of elegance.
