In the past I've used a lot the so called newsgroups, even running my own inn news server for our company and nn as the newsreader. I liked to post there technical (and other) questions and answers, or I've google'ed for solutions. Nowadays there is a big silence :-( Where have all the people gone? Is USENET coming to its end? matthias -- Matthias Apitz | /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign: www.asciiribbon.org E-mail: guru@unixarea.de | \ / - No HTML/RTF in E-mail WWW: http://www.unixarea.de/ | X - No proprietary attachments phone: +49-170-4527211 | / \ - Respect for open standards
