A bad thing?
Fig made Forth popular and the rest is nature.
Everyone could make a better forth, Forths abound
and need came to corral. At that time the Internet
was coming into public use, publications gave way
to news groups and podcasts.
The venue makes a difference. A publication provides
order, code and ideas presented in whole and bitching
relegated to small paragraph in letters to the editor.
News groups have different dynamics and chaos is
more the norm. A good place to hash stuff out by the
knowledgeable but a rough ride for ones with little
background and of little patience. Podcasts should be more palpable.
