Anyone interested in this NKOTB comeback then?

No, thought not :)

You're quite right! Not at all. I didn't even know they were coming back.

I asked lister 3 times on #speccy wtf he was on about with no reply.
Only now, when you've said "they" were coming back has it made the
connection.


Do you not see message headers in your news client?

When WAS the last time anyone even thought about nkotb? 1989? (apart from
the odd reference like futurama that is)

Besides, bit of a misnomer now isn't it?
Old middle aged gits on the block more like?


Indeed :)

I see the important ones, like "Subject" and "From", if I want to see more,
I have to look... And I did look, and I don't see your point...

T'knob is even less meaningful than nkotb when you have no context, ffs. So
what was the point of dragging headers into it?


I believe it was Scrib that coined T'knob, so don't go blaming me :)
