For a DH>> pay-per-minute user the last option is not viable. A> I rather think Dieter's message about how the German message A> board works gives credance to the idea. The German market for TB is the biggest in the world. Dieter's work in marketing TB there has given rise to a use base that I would guess is at least twice as large as the rest of the world put together. Maybe even more than that. This means that there are many more German speakers using TB than any other language. A> There are boards in German and French already as has been posted A> elsewhere on TBUDL, so why the big deal against having one in A> English? I don't think there's a "big deal" here. There are opinions, freely given, about how people feel about boards themselves. I don't like them. Dierk doesn't like them. You do. Others do. Don Ziegler is already in the process of creating one. So there is going to a board in existence by early next week. Personally, I wish it every success. I shall rarely be there - boards don't suit my Internet use profile. - -- Cheers -- .\\arck D Pearlstone -- List moderator TB! v1.62/Beta7 on Windows 2000 5.0.2195 Service Pack 2 ' -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1rc1-nr1 (Windows 2000) iD8DBQE9unOeOeQkq5KdzaARAtJQAJ0e3nugb/kkUDImwb56tBdc+q10xQCgg1pL VzL8jGSW1oQQL4GZf16GdZw= =wLJ9 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.61 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
