I wish MSFT would bring back their news servers, it seems there was less mis-information being posted there. -- XS11E, Killing all posts from Google Groups The Usenet Improvement Project: http://twovoyagers.com/improve-usenet.org/ |

The web-based forums might be better for those asking questions, but for those of us who answer questions, newsgroups are *much* better. It used to be a combination of Usenet and web-based servers, and was ideal. |

There seems to be no pattern as to which. -- Regards, Eric Stevens |
