Note that I could not refute your apparent conflation of Usenet and NNTP without writing about Usenet. Admittedly, I also got drawn into a side-discussion of Usenet history with you. Anyway, I agree that it is difficult to remember who said what (or, perhaps more importantly, *why* they said it) when a thread gets as convoluted as this one. We can agree to agree about that which we agree about, and to disagree about that which we disagree about. :-) -- Mark Rousell |
