Good luck as you venture forth.

Might want to remember how to get back.

I feel the same way about the web based forums. There was a comment
about why the Newsgroups were disappearing, regulatory may be part of
the problem, but I think the main reason is that the provider can not
make any money from a newsgroup. While on most web forum pages, over
half the page is taken up with fixed advertising and popup
advertising. It is a matter of economics for the provider.

Anyone who wants newsgroups can subscribe. I subscribed when AOL
dropped them (years ago...). It saves me the trouble of looking up the
price of gas..
