Yes, I know what you mean. We can't please everyone on here. Only try
our best. If others don't like it, I can't help that. Like I stated, if
me and the few others that post here stop posting, the group would
obviously die and we sure don't want that. Also, because of my living
situation, I have to take advantage of posting oppurtunities(sp). Maybe
I've had too many lately. LOL
"Only *your* newsreader does it easily (and doesn't do much else
> well)."
Actually, newsleecher is a GREAT program for both binaries and text.
I'm not sure what it doesn't do well because I sure can't complain
about it.
Hmmmmm, I never knew you posted stories here and have never read them.
I guess you'll have to decide for yourself when it's the best time to
post some. Maybe you could make the subject line of your story really
noticeable. :)
Well, I guess it could be worse. What if these groups didn't exist?
I'll take the current way things are going over that. So, I suggest you
all sit back and enjoy the ride! :) Well, I don't know what else to
say. If you all don't like it, complain to the newsgroup god or
something. LOL!
