In my experience, most of the smaller news nets (e.g. forums.linuxworld.com, news.redhat.com, news.stampede.org, and news.mozilla.org), unlike Usenet, often do have a signal to noise ratio comparable to mailing lists. Please note that Mosl wasn't talking about Usenet newsgroup. Personally, I think it would be nice to have a comp.os.linux.debian in regular Usenet, as a separate communication system from the Debian lists (no gateways). Those who can still stand Usenet can use it; those who can't aren't confronted with it. Ray -- ART A friend of mine in Tulsa, Okla., when I was about eleven years old.
