I haven't had much time recently, but have been part of all of the following:
The Britsh Transport Films forum, accessble through this site:
http://www.britishtransportfilms.co.uk/
A Yahoo group on Dye Transfer prnting, the still verson.
The forums on Graflex cameras, and related matters at:
www.graflex.org.
Various newsgroups, including:
rec.arts.moves.tech
alt.engneerng.electrcal
uk.transport
uk.transport.london
uk.transport.buses
uk.railway
misc.transport.rail.americas
misc.transport.urban-transit
comp.dcom.lans.ethernet
Ones I've dropped out of:
uk.media.dvd
rec.video.dvd.tech
Both were useful in the early days, but tended mo move into making your own DVDs, something that I'm not much involved in as yet, or piracy of commercial ones, something that I'm not involved in at all. The latter seems to have reduced n the last year or two.
Various political groups
The same thing as happened to the political forum here; I doubt if there is now one message in a hundred worth reading, and it's too much like hard work to sort through all the dross.
alt.atheism, and, from that, various religious groups
The same as the political groups, plus I came to feel that debate about my non-belief in a deity with other atheists is rather like debate about the non-existance of a particular film projector. Shall we discuss the (non-existant) Gaumont-Kalee 87, the reasons for our non-belief, or the nature of its non-existance? There is a difference here, in that different people have different beliefs, but sadly, any discussion of this between them seems to rapidly degenerate into a slanging match, or worse.
alt.atheism.moderated
Seems to have died
Any contributions which I have made will be either under by real name, as here, or one of my several e-mail addresses, furles@mail.croydon.ac.uk, if posted from the new version of Google Groups; I haven't worked out yet how to get this thing to display my real name. Does anyone else know? I seldom use the Pipex news server as it is incredibly slow.
I never post under a false name, there are some work-related matters that I would not be permiitted to discuss in a public forum; in this case I will not post anything, though I may read what others have said.

A&M Corner - A site dedicated to the classic A&M Records label, home of Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass, Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66, Carpenters, Styx, Supertramp, etc. (I'm a moderator over there.)
Classic Toy Trains Forum - operated by the magazine of the same name. It's dedicated to collectors and operators of "toy" train layouts, as opposed to scale model layouts (although the two are converging more and more in recent years). I mostly lurk there.
"The Dis" boards - Collection of forums relating to Disney World, Disneyland, and other Florida themeparks - Lurker only (it's way too busy to keep up with)
Magic Cafe - an unbelieveable number of forums by magicians for magicians. I used to do a bit of magic so it's fun to read once in a while but I've never joined it.
I visit film-tech probably more than any of the above with the exception of A&M Corner.

Ooops on a previous post about A&M & TJB!
Umm, and The Captain & Tenille were on A&M too, I think, & Peter Frampton...
The list of terror would be the groups where Scott Norwood hangs out & posts. It seem like all of usenet passes through him as a gateway or something.
