No, not at all. My point is what I wrote above. But also, a lot of functionality available on Usenet is also available on www. You don't *have* to convert people to Usenet, and to warn them against a forum on www. For day to day usage I experience hardly any difference. I mean, I am not struggeling when I post a message on a web board. And if things take time to download (for example a thread with many many pictures), I switch to another tab and do something else (tab browsing is fun :-). Each has its place. I don't want www on Usenet, and I don't want Usenet on www. -- John Small Perl scripts: http://johnbokma.com/perl/ Perl programmer available: http://castleamber.com/ Happy Customers: http://castleamber.com/testimonials.html -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
