pla...@odyssey.net meinte am 05.02.97 zum Thema "Re: Offline Readers": p> > TF>> newsgroups!! The most common are offline readers p> p> This is utter nonsense. I use Netscape for reading the newsgroups. p> I have an unlimited account so there is no point in downloading a rash p> of messages to read offline when I can pick and choose while online. Ehm..just because you are using Netscape does not mean that the statement about offline readers is nonsense. I'd actually agree with that one, because usenet readers who do not use their office/student/whatever accounts have to pay for their online time, so offline reading is a much cheaper alternative. I don't want to know what I'd have to pay per month if I would read all this stuff online... ;-) p> I think you protest "because you use an offline reader" and so have to p> download all the garbage to read a few good messages. How do you distinguish between good and bad stuff without reading it? A new Netscape feature (red=bad, green=good) ? ;-) Ciao Bernd ------------------------------------------------------------------------- WWW = World Wide Waste of bandwidth ## CrossPoint v3.1 ##
