Re[3]: INTRANETS QUANDARY - JUNE 5

What about a real news group on the Usenet?

I have no idea how one of these things is created...but I guess they can be moderated. Probably a lot of work for the moderator, though.

As far as re-locating...how about this:

Everyone volunteer to copy a forum thread to a plain text file. These could later be collected at one place. This would minimize the work

any one person would do.

While I have no real complaints about this service, I have to ask, why pay more for something than you have to?

I use the Yahoo groups quite frequently for various metalworking groups, and find it quite easy to use. If they start charging, then I go

back the the Usenet (something I am paying for via my ISP anyway).

These groups already exist on Yahoo Groups:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/fusor

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/fusor-construction

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/fusor-theory

I hope that advertizer funded Internet sites flourish. I know that there is potential for it, once the astronomical amounts of venture capital

that had been trying to 'buy' market share (and outlast the competition) dries up.
