I'm trying to avoid that, too, but the problem I have is we're both agreeing that ot make USENET usable today, we have to gateway it into something entirely different and use it over there. That's like saying "I really like mailing lists, as long as you gateway into gmane where I can read them with my newsreader". That's a falsehood -- if that's what you believe, you don't LIKE mailing lists. You like the content, but not the delivery mechanism, and we get back into that hammer/nail thing -- the content is not the delivery mechanism... I'm trying to avoid us equating "usenet content" with "usenet", and "reading usenet content in a different environment that works" with "usenet works". </dead_horse_beating> -- Chuq Von Rospach, Architech [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- http://www.chuqui.com/ Very funny, Scotty.
