Why did you post that here - in a dead newsgroup?

Not too dead, you replied.

Many of my friends still monitor this group. Just because there is very
little noise does not mean there is no signal. :o)

As with other groups also. :-)

JS

Yes! Many.

So create a mailing list and e-mail it them.

Interesting that Both you and Rustin use usenet as some sort of personal
communications channel.


With maybe one post a month to this group, you have a strange definition
of signal.

And with the Tony Lance "Big Bertha" posts (visible on some servers)
there is more of that "noise" than any actual on-topic posts here.

No.


Is he here too? <looks around>


it is an orphaned group, if you do not like it - go elsewhere.


I kinda wondered what those were all about.

This does post the problem of what to do with multi-lingual characters,
especially ones that look nearly identical (as is the care referenced
with the Russian 'c' and 'o').

They have taken measures to contain this, in the form of confusable
detection. it is pretty good actually, but I expect holes to turn up.
