Well... *that* was uncalled for.  Actually, I'm sure that many people agree with
him but just haven't posted.  He's perfectly right, however- Next-Gen does slag
Usenet while building up their own forums- Which is ironic as hell, because their
forums really aren't much better; mostly my system is better than yours stuff in
there.  About the only thing that they're missing is the spam, and the time taken 
up to d/l spam on the Usenet is easily equalled by the time it takes up to d/l 
the cumbersome overly framed interface that Next-Gen uses for their Forum.

About the topic of the thread- I think Christian Svensson's purpose would
be better served by him actually entering the conversations here, instead of merely
advertising.  Do both, maybe, but Next-Gen could earn a lot of goodwill on the Usenet
by taking it seriously, for a change.  Then again, does Next-Gen *ever* take anything
seriously, without a nauseating amount of childish remarks, petty jabs, and misplaced
skepticism?

(Heh- let's see Svensson respond to *that*- the site sure doesn't).
