A list like this beats a RO> message board with two hands tied on the back. Based on your explanation of the Message Board I agree with you 100%. The current system is much better, especially for people not connected all the time (broadband). I can read it off-line. On the other hand, if someone wants the change why not Usenet forum? This can be read on-line or off-line as desired. Can download only messages interested in and ignore others. -- Best regards, Peter mailto:pkerekes@;ca.inter.net Using The Bat! v1.62/Beta4 on Windows 98 "Policies are many, Principles are few, Policies will change, Principles never do." -- John C.
