The list with the highest volume (until about a month ago) that I
subscribe to is TBOT. I have not had the need to score. As I said,
scoring makes sense on the usenet, because you can easily be
downloading 1000 new postings in the evening, but I do not see the
need for mailing lists, even though it is theoretically there.

I use MyGate. And that's because I only read 2 or 3 NGs these days,
both with relatively low traffic. Would I still be reading more lists,
and with serious traffic, I would get a newsreader.

PF> I'd support it.

Well, I wouldn't. But then, it's of the category "what is not useful
for me may be useful for others", and "others may find one of the
features of TB useless, while I use it every day". So, I will not
fight against an implementation, I just think it's not necessary. I'll
now step out of this thread.

Travel is very educational. I can now say "Kaopectate" in seven
different languages.
