As a lurker, I actually prefer nets to most one-on-one QSOs.  They tend to spend a lot of time on the frequency, but really don't say that much; One person will say something, then there's this long pause before the otheer replies because they're also doing something else, so the attention isn't always there.  And if both are doing this, it makes for a raher tedious listening experience.

My favorite nets are the themed variety, a specific purpose or topic for getting together.  I also like listening to contests; I like the rapid-fire exchanges.
