Friends, let's be patient, I think he mean more easy or more
familiar for Borland users way to contact us. More than two years ago
I was confused too, being not familiar with mail lists and habited to
newsreader interface. BTW, I prefer last too - I have 10 mail folders
for my duties, 4 around Firebird for my own interest and one common
and it's hard to lurk constantly which folder received message when
Bat starts to wave wings - I should react on duty messages quickly.
Using newsgroups interface I can settle for myself time when I look it
through and become more organized person :)
I posted similar message via news://news.atkin.com 10 minutes ago
and posting this message via browser on Yahoo, let's test what will be
more efficient :) I think my first message will not appear at the
mirror at all, as it is since Yahoo changed somewhat about two years
ago. Juan's messages are not seen there too.
