My mailer allows reading news, I selected digitalmars server, was offered list of groups, subscribed to the desire ones and that's it. Forum will just divide not-too-big community and with dozen of forums it's so difficult to know what to follow etc. Here I can quickly skip over non-interesting threads, quickly mark the whole tread as read, mark thread as (un)ignore, (un)watch etc. However, if you make newsgroup <--> forum gateway, then I don't care for those wanting to read forums, but I'd say that the problem is not in 'uncomfortable and obviously outdated newsgroup software', but 'uncomfortable and obviously incapable newsgroup reader software'. ;) Sincerely, Gour -- The senses are so strong and impetuous, O Arjuna, that they forcibly carry away the mind even of a man of discrimination who is endeavoring to control them. http://atmarama.net | Hlapicina (Croatia) | GPG: 52B5C810
