After a divorce, selling the farm and helping my now adult kids into

But in another life and another couple of interests, the cetre of the
world has shifted away from these old newsgroups to more easily
navigated online forums with better security.

Without dissing THIS forum, can anyone point me toward where the
current discussions are happening most?

assuming you are in the usa, here.

If you find a better one, please come back and tell us about it. I know
I haven't checked around for several years.

For me, this is easy navigating (I get it by using the newsreader built
into my email client), and I'm not aware of any security concerns during
the many years I've used it. I'd be more concerned about a web-based one.

You can try Soaring Cafe (http://www.soaringcafe.net), but R.A.S is
still the best place for late-breaking news and good advice on just
about anything soaring related. YMMV ;-).
