And then you are penalizing those of us that HAVE been using Linux for a while.
I'm sorry, but I can't possibly take the time to help someone else if it
takes so long to go through 75 posts a day. If people would read the FAQs
and switch long, dragged out conversions to mail, this news group would take
less time to read and I'd be able to start helping people again.
Until things straighten out, I will have to say that this newgroup *IS*
broken.
