Default Leader of the free world

Well that's just old fashioned, or is it new fangled, or are they
Luddites?Â* Just wanted to use that word again.:-D

I use Thunderbird as my email client (it's free, don'tcha know, so it
would fit every glider pilot's budget).Â* I created a separate folder for
Soaring and configured that to eternal september.Â* Works just like email
with all the frills.

No doubt this post will be deleted as politically incorrect....
Ummm (and in no particular order), I'll bite...

- Lemme know when software has "advanced" to the point of scrubbing
usenet servers.

- If you're into lemming-like "leadership", have at it! (This "lemming"
is *happy* we [i.e. the USofA] is abandoning the marxist WHO [if in
fact is; I haven't checked].)

- Please advise how the original post has to do with soaring. Perhaps
I'm missing something.

Respectfully,
Bob W.

Dan Marotta Jul 3 Good points, Jon. But why would any post which does
not follow the strict lines of the group's title cause the group to
wither and die? How hard is it to simply skip over those posts which are
not of interest to the reader? I simply right click on a subject which
does not interest me and select "Mark thread as read". Or "Ignore
Thread". Those work every time.
So now it has to be only soaring? Not both ways?

A lot of the objections are from people who insist on using a web browser
to read news via Google Groups and can't/won't/don't use a proper
newsreader. Thats their choice, but as a result they don't have the
ability to ignore authors and/or threads.
