New Internet users are not now introduced to Usenet, and when they do try it it looks clunky and old fashioned to them. Of course, it is clunky and old fashioned - but it also works extremely well, and I honestly don't know of any 'web forum' system which works (and scales) anything like as well. So, frankly, I'm happy to remain a dinosaur. -- simon@jasmine.org.uk (Simon Brooke) http://www.jasmine.org.uk/~simon/ ;; When your hammer is C++, everything begins to look like a thumb. |

I hate reading e-mails through a web interface, preferring a good e-mail programme like Thunderbird to read my e-mails and reading Usenet in it is just like reading e-mails. I can download everything to my laptop and browse, search and read everything off-line on the train, plane or just sat around. Tony |
