Not having to figure out X different pretty-printed HTML is a Good Thing!
NNTP would make that easier.

Tim Bray mentioned RSS.  Does anybody have an RSS indexing product, to index
the stream as it arrives?

Been following the news... but didn't quite sink in that you now work for my
old company.  As you may know, I was Verity's original Web product manager
and did the advanced tech evangelism and product management through the IPO
and a year or so more.

Another admin note -- sorry about the autoresponders posting to the list.
Not much of any way to catch them, though I'll try to rig up a regex to
catch them.  I'm unsubscribing the offenders.
