Charlie,

Gmane is a free utility that redirects mailing list messages (such as the DP 
Users Group) into a newsgroup that can be read with a NNTP reader. Outook 
Express (which comes with Windows) includes a built-in newsreader and works 
fine with it.

It takes just a little bit of tinkering to get it set up, but then all of the 
DP messages show up as newsgroup posts. And as we've seen, much faster than 
email.

As Brian just posted, here's the gmane link to the DP Users Group info: 
http://dir.gmane.org/gmane.comp.db.dataperfect.general

Another cool benefit of the gmane interface is that they have all of the 
messages archived back to 4/12/2006. So once you sign up and retrieve the 
messages with your newsreader, you can easily go back to prior messages.

    And I see my reply on gmane 1 minute later. Now that's not too bad a 
turn-around time.
