There are a couple of benefits, the best one is the easy click on the
author's name, so you can see all their other achived posts by title
and newsgroup. It makes obvious trolls easy to spot. And having a
web interface to a usenet archive stretching back to the begining of
the Usenet helps when you need old info and don't want to get flamed
for the crime of asking the incredibly obvious.

Oh, well, there's still Groupsrv, http://www.groupsrv.com/science/ , I
guess.
