Right. I avoid web based forums like the plague. Why? Because apart from the (usually) very low SNR, for me interacting with a browser is more effort than using my email/news client of 10+ years, pine. I find that fact that something is technically possible (e.g., HTML email and Usenet) is not necessarily a good argument for actully DOING it. -- Rich Teer, SCNA, SCSA, OpenSolaris CAB member President, Rite Online Inc.
