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). -The Artful Dodger
