i'll reply anyways. not every ISP has a news server, running a news server is very bandwidth intensive and disk space intensive. I personally prefer mailing lists over usenet anyday. Now I personally have no problem with a mail:news gateway where people can use either method to communicate, I just perfer mailing lists. debian-user is a relativly high traffic list..at least it has a good ratio of good:crap(e.g. spam) mails, unlike many newsgroups .. I'd be interested in hearing if any other distributions use usenet for user support. I have used SuSE, and FreeBSD's mailing lists ... if you don't like it, looks like you've gone away, you won't be missed! nate -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
