Hello,
I think that is really hard to show the relation of smart/not smart
people and certain forms of using the internet.
I believe that it is rather a generational gap. This is how it works
with young folks:
-I don't drive my grandfathers car and also I don't use usenet
-I don't wear my fathers clothes and I don't use wikitext
-I listen to the newest music and I use nice AJAX interfaces. Because
as all my friends do.
And unrelated to all this, I can still be either smart or dumb.
Best
Mihály

Well, all those people left Usenet for message
boards. And look how
healthy Usenet is now!
The groups I always hung out on are, by and large, just as useful now
as they were then.
All *which* people left? The smart, thoughtful ones who could write
proper english? Not IME.
I'd suggest that Usenet isn't a good
example of what we want to
happen.
I'd suggest that you're not using a fine enough glass to look.
Cheers,
