I'm sorry for all you people who don't live in a place with a genuinely free market, and instead have to suffer with the lack of competition and poor service of a monopoly or duopoly masquerading as a free market. But *my* point was that your woes are not universal, and Usenet is alive and well. It might be declining, but it's a long, slow decline and, like Cobol, it will probably still be around a decade after the cool kids declared it dead. -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
