I agree with Ken. If Novell were using 21st century technology this would be forum software like Social MPN instead of a mailing list. This caters to the lowest common denominator, and allows access to everyone.
Not all change is for the good, but that doesn't mean that top-posting is bad. Some people can recall threads and don't need to scroll to the bottom to read - those people top-post.
Who is on METERED dial-up? I know about metered broadband, but metered DIALUP? I haven't seen that since about 1996 in the US - so nearly 10 years now. Are there still places that charge by the hour? Honestly asking.

I know of a few, not many perhaps, but a few from Spain and India that still are forced to use metered dial-up. I have a couple friends here in SW FL that have no cable service available and they are to far from the CO to get DSL and I have gotten them to use SuSE linux and they are very interested in the beta releases. Even in the USA there are still many people in rural areas that need access. We need to be able to support everyone on this list not just the ones fortunate to have broadband service. This is the end of my discussion on this subject. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 "The day Microsoft makes something that doesn't suck is probably the day they start making vacuum cleaners." -Ernst Jan Plugge
