I've only used a newsreader. Watchit, this is Moz - - I also use 40Tude.
I figured it was "harder"...I use a newreader because I knew it how it
works.
I am very happy with Google. It serves my needs. Surprisingly, I
don't read that many newsgroups with any regularity...maybe five or six
at the most, and only one or two on a daily basis(including rmb). It
has vastly improved. Still has some glitches, but at least it doesn't
take hours to get one's post "posted", now it's only a couple of
minutes.
I've not even tried Google for posting. It's still my go-to for searching.
"Newsreader" is a large category. I only like a couple. Regardless of
the praise heaped upon Agent, I never found it convenient. I used it
for long spells and it is wildly configurable? It seems dated or ackward
sometimes. Moz is great (I refuse to give M$ any attention I don't have
to but had no problem with OE in the past). I really like 40tude but do
most of my work out of Moz.
I don't even care what people use as long as it's plain text, not 150
characters wide and there is an attempt to keep a consistant name and
addy.
Post by m***@hotmail.comI forgot to mention that despite my using what some consider to be an
inferior way of reading newsgroups, those who refuse to be archived
don't explain why.
My guess, they don't want to be held accountable for what they've said
1. makes them look stupid.
2. it's embarassing to them
3. proves how intellectually bankrupt they are
Hey, certain people "do" have something to worry about! They are
clearly "not" who people think they are and in a sense need to hide the
ID they adopt here.
Others? Just plain paranoid? Your three points above and a general
lack of conviction that "some day" they could explain their words.
If someone wants to grab a post of mine at random or search for a
screw-up, they'll find plenty. With thousands of posts under my belt it
would be difficult to obtain a fair profile without a lot of work.
The luxury of getting this far in life is that I have enough skeletons
already I don't have to worry about the future. I'm defined already and
I can either accept it or not.
