NNTP = Usenet / News Servers
It's a really old standard for newsgroups, which most email
clients support (Outlook doesn't, but Outlook Express, Thunderbird, etc. doo).
Rather than having all the messages duplicated and sent to everyones email, they
all live on a server, and you browse them in a threaded manner, much like a
message board online, but since you can choose different clients, you're not
stuck to how a particular forums interface works.
It's great for this kind of list where there's lots of
traffic, and you don't read every post. Your client can just get the headers,
and if you want to read a post (based on the subject), it'll just fetch the body
as you click through. Saves lots of traffic and makes reading much faster if
you're not reading everything!

Subject: [flexcoders] Can we move Flexcoders to a new forum??Is anyone else pulling their teeth trying to find messages they posted
several days ago? I can see it in the mail-archives no problem, but
when I go back to yahoo to post a reply to a message...it's quite the
b*tch to find. I ended up just doing a search on my username and
clicking through all the pages of results and of course it wasn't there.
Yahoo could at least have a link that says "My Posts" or something.
It'd also be nice if the posts were listed out like theserverside.com
(although more stable :-)
Since we're all developing in a slick technology, can't we dump tyhe
legacy forum?
Anyone else feel this way?
Cheers.
