If Usenet was more reliable, and if readnews would present things in order of submission, I'd change my mind; however, I find it very difficult to follow discussions of quasars when I get a 4th-level answer before seeing the original question. The big disadvantage of the 'fa' mechanism is that folks have to know to mail submissions in, rather than using 'inews' or 'postnews'; if that were automated, I'd have no qualms whatsoever about sticking with 'fa.space'. ----------------------------------------------------------------- gopher://quux.org/ conversion by John Goerzen of http://communication.ucsd.edu/A-News/ This Usenet Oldnews Archive article may be copied and distributed freely, provided: 1.
