But we are here to discuss the future and the changes!  <g>  Do you not  
see any areas of improvement?

Do you have an option to use the QWKE format?  You wouldn't have cut-off  
subject lines.

No cell phone for me (yet).  But I have a couple of iPods that were  
primarily obtained as mp3 players several years ago.  The built-in wi-fi  
is handy for a few things like a weather report, or to check email status.  
I tried a nntp/newsgroup reader on one of them.  It was ok to monitor  
activity, but reading on a tiny screen was not comfortable. And creating  
useful posts was too hard on my thumbs.
