Hi Kai, KG> annoying on newsgroups was spam which is obviously something KG> subscribers of a closed mailing list or forum hardly ever have to KG> deal with.

Keep in mind that USENET is not the only source of newsgroups. Many vendors, including Macromedia, Microsoft and others run their own newsservers since it's very bandwidth efficient and the clients prefer them. Our site (Blarp.com) runs a newsserver although we also provide a web and e-mail interface to the same messagebase. Personally, I like having e-mail and news integrated. It's what kept me hooked to lookOut Express for so long. -- Tom G. http://blarp.com <-- Free tech support The Bat 1.60q - Windows 2000 ________________________________________________________ Current Ver: 1.60q 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://www.ritlabs.com/bt/
