[MLB-WIRELESS] Newsgroup

[lschapel at bigpond.com]

There has been a fair bit of discussion about this.
For me email works well, given that filters allow me to manage upwards
of 80 emails a day. The delete button works well, my only crit is that
the subject gets a bit obscured with Re:Re:Re:Thing. Iwill not bother with nntp.
Thanks for the thought though :)
