I use gmane. It's not just neat in concept; it works pretty well in reality, too! (I'd rather have a newsgroup than a mailing list so that I can consciously *choose* which messages to save, rather than having to decide to delete them. With a mailing list, I end up becoming a total packrat and having to work way too hard to find the messages I really need to see ... at which point I might as well search the archives, anyway =P ) -- monique -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
