On the other hand, the place to find an answer to a specific question, or to

I prefer Usenet to web-based forums (maybe I'm just old-fashioned), which is
why I'm still here.

The reason I read Spielfrieks is because it's available via newsfeed at news.gname.org

I wouldn't bother with it if it was email or a trip to Yahoo's website.

So, once around the Newsgroup, in-the-fist bids, what am I offered for a
slightly used Yahoo email list?


If it has a newsfeed, something, if it doesn't then I'll pass... ;-)
