Well, I don't really post much on some of the groups I follow, that is because someone has usually been there, and said it much better then i ever could.
What I've found is that some of the older groups tend to be quirt a lot of fun, as long as you take the time and effort to find out and follow the written and unwritten rules for discussion.
And those often tend to widely differ from group to group. Best advice I've ever received and followed is to lurk around for a while, just reading the posts to get used to the ebb and flow of the conversation. The jumping in, but politly. I've had my head nearly bitten off a few times for saying something stupid.
But getting back to the original question, if you like SF
rec.arts.sf.written is one of the best discussion groups I've found. You can access it through usernet or though google groups.
For pratchett's work alt.books.pratchett and alt.fan.pratchett are great.
Best of luck finding groups you like
