Because message boards suck ass. No matter how interesting they are, I stop reading them after a week because: A) the interface sucks B) the web was not made for applications C) they get archived on search engines D) they get trolled by spammers for e-mail addresses E) procmail is easy to configure F) mail comes to me G) mutt crashes a lot less often than netscape H) people can't use annoyin fonts and colors in plain text mail I could keep going. -- :: atomly :: atomly@atomly.com | atomly@atdot.org | atomly@curiousnetworks.com http://www.atomly.com | http://www.mp3.com/atomly --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
