"Lose" implies there's something to "win" and I don't think there is in the sense you're using the terms. Newsgroups aren't battles. They're attempts (or should be in my opinion. You're welcome to your own.) to arrive closer to some sort of truth about the subject at hand via a somewhat dialectic process. Everybody with sense "wins" when they gain knowledge or a better perspective on some issue even marginally relevant to his or her life.
