Meaning that newsgroups, unless they're private, are usually not moderated. This allows a lot of flaming, arguing, off-topic discussions and circular discussions completing way too many circles before ending.

TB! already has the capability to thread messages so reading isn't a problem. The readers can participate using TB!. In fact, the only problem is bandwidth, but I think the advantages outweigh this disadvantage. One big disadvantage for me would be that I'd have to check the news server regularly and I'd have to put up with Gravity if I wanted to prevent this. Argh! Don't forget that participants would have to find a news reader and learn how to use it when they're already learning to use TB!. It just seems wrong to put TB! aside to read a discussion list about it. While I doubt that I'd be gone if a newsgroup were to be started, I don't particularly agree with it though it's a free world of course and anyone who wishes to start a news group can do so as was done with these groups. :-) - -- -=Allie C Martin=- List Moderator | TB! v1.60m | Windows XP Pro PGP/GPG Public Key: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?Subject=2B0717E2 _________________________________________________________________ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iD8DBQE864Z6V8nrYCsHF+IRAoWNAJ0eulM0PRE8uqKAxednG/Qb8caMXACgofTA coq855fmufwQhfCQB5//tmU= =h9Uu -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ________________________________________________________ Current Ver: 1.60m FAQ : http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Bug Reports: https://bt.ritlabs.com
