I disagree. The difference is that, by allowing replies to accumulate and reading them filtered to +3, you have a decent chance of finding out when a submission was likely off-base. It's not uncommon to have 2-3 news items a day that completely missed the point, or misrepresented the point, of the article or technology on which they're reporting. -- monique -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
