The intent of the two is pretty much the same: some sort of discussion forum. However, the method of delivering is different. Message boards are usually web-based, have a lot of useless features, and everything is stored on the server side. NNTP is like e-mail. It works, get's the job done, and the bells and whistles are dependant on the client. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Tact is just *not* saying true stuff" -- Cordelia Chase Kenneth E.
