Yes, a good mail user agent is still immensely better for reading discussions than any web application, especially when the discussions are many and varied. Threading, kill-files, full text editing, standard message protocols, efficient message transfer, all these advantages and more are not to be found in a web application. I would be overjoyed if the SJ Games forums were to be made available via NNTP, since then I could use a standard, flexible newsreader of my choice to get much of the same power of a mail user agent. The web forum application, though, is hideously inflexible and cumbersome to use. > I wasn't ever that active on the pyramid newsgroup either - except > in the occasional play-test discussion.

Let's continue to use it then, and make it irresistable :-) -- \ “I don't care to belong to a club that accepts people like me | `\ as members.” —Groucho Marx | _o__) | Ben Finney _______________________________________________ GurpsNet-L mailing list <[email protected]> http://mail.sjgames.com/mailman/listinfo/gurpsnet-l
