Selecting posts and threads based on a scoring system A huge variety of different newsreaders allowing different users to access the news in they way they want. I don't use all the possibilities (e.g. I don't use kill files) but I do use a 'minority' text based newsreader because it is ideal for me. I don't get the option of a text based forum reader - I doubt many forums work with lynx. -- Chris Green -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
