It sounds to good to be true, to have a newsgroup where one downloads headers in a few seconds and then decide which threads are really interesting. I have yet to come on one that really functions as well as these lists. The Paradox Community has created its own server - for other reasons - and it is neither as communicative as before nor faster than a ML. I usually have to try connecting more than two times; I very often get "Connection failed". With the load on the server I'd rather have an ML. > Isn't it time we created a newsgroup where messages could be posted > and read, even retained for a period of time? I admit this question doesn't come up to often, but it does frequently. And I am always astonished as to why people asking for a newsgroup just don't get ahead and create one. then tell us on the lists, make it known through other channels - there are lots of people using TB! not being on any TBML - and see what happens. > Any interest in this? Not really. I already do read all messages - well, some of them only get skimmed -, and I always find interesting ideas (not necessarily TB! related) within threads I wouldn't touch if I'd only see the header. BTW, a newsgroup would mean - as Marck himself pointed out in of these discussions a few months ago - to not use TB! but a news client like Agent, perhaps even Outlook Express.
