Not really, but it's nice to hear replies from a couple of

old fossils that know how to do it. I can't tell you how many folks I've
tried to recruit to various NG's, by send them a list of instructions.

just too much trouble for the casual computer user.

Too much trouble - that seems so strange to some long time Usenet
people like me. I find web forums far too much trouble as they are all
over the place and vary so much. Usenet survives because it's so
simple to use. The main trouble with Usenet is spam from Google groups
and gmail users.

The difficulty for them is configuring a good reader like Outlook
Express. I don;t use Google Groups, but that's gotta be easier? The wacko's
and nasty's don't help either.
