Re: New group idea {possible change in rules from list...

I agree. Any discussion group that requires you to log on to read or post
messages is more trouble than its worth. I joined CNCZone and never used it
because I couldn't get access to update my own option settings. Recently I
logged in again and figured it out, but there are so many threads and so
much ad noise it feels more like a flea market than a discussion. All the
boards based on PHP-BB suffer from the same problem. Much easier to follow
and participate in discussions delivered via majordomo and its clones. (Like
the Yahoo lists).
