Traffic on ib-support is around 4.5 - 5 Mb uncompressed text / month.
Personally, I don't mind, especially with today's harddisk sizes. I
keep everything because it makes a great archive. But you can also
delete the old stuff every month.

But how about the Yahoo web interface? I'm not a great fan of this,
but it _does_ work and it's threaded iirc.

OK, I can understand your irritation. About the standard newsgroup
road: Hmmmm... why not? Are there any good reasons not to do this?
Fear of too much noise maybe?


Sorry I can't be of any help with your "lockup" problem. I've never
experienced it, and I haven't got a clue. Hope somebody else has.
