I would suspect that more than half of the people whom you see posting aren't posting to a Usenet newsgroup. We're posting to a mailing list. If you're going to judge "amateurish" and "pro" based on the threads in a newsgroup or a mailing list, then there are other problems at hand, and it's not with the presence or absence of certain discussion threads. -austin -- Austin Ziegler * halostatue / gmail.com * Alternate: austin / halostatue.ca
