I agree with you completely on this Steve.
Think more carefully of how many people say "Well, Forte Agent does it
this way and that way". How long would it take (and how many Mb of new
code) to get TB's NNTP functionality anywhere near that of Agent? How
many TB/Agent combo users (and that includes *me*) would give up using
Agent to read usenet?
Okay .. confession time. I once used Outlook Express. All right, all
right, so it was more than once. Okay then - for a prolonged period.
Look, I was desperate, okay? I was over a barrel - between a rock and
a hard thing.
Despite having mail and news all together, I soon had to revert to
using Agent for the news job. It just doesn't work to have them all in
one. Not when Agent is so good at the job.
It is also amusing to note that all of these Agent aficionados don't
use it for their e-mail (and that /also/ includes *me*). Doesn't that
say something about the desire to combine the two under one roof?
