Other than getting your standard media do you actually use newsgroups for chatting, discussing, finding information etc.

On occasion I use it for tech support with my ISP and used to check some P2P groups...

I help the people that are asking in one group for something, when it somewhere else. Or anyother problem they have.

I make the odd comment in reply to posts. I don't find it as easy and straight forward to use as places like this.
Same here.
I don't really understand that people continue to use newsgroups solely for discussions.
It's so easy now (and free) to set up a message board.
