To users who get and prefer alt.photography the SI is present. To those who don't get .alt it's a moot point. IAC this splinter is about all 2 of the people who bitch about the SI without taking advantage of a simple subject filter. They need an excuse to whine apparently. -- "Civilization is the limitless multiplication of unnecessary necessities." -Samuel Clemens. |

IAC this splinter is about all 2 of the people who bitch about the SI without taking advantage of a simple subject filter. They need an excuse to whine apparently. I get all four of the groups in question, and I am fortunate to have a Usenet client which will, after I have read a message in one group, mark the same message as "read" in the other three groups. So, if I am reading messages in a particular group, and then check the next group, I only have to read those messages marked "Unread". Neat. -- Regards, Savageduck |
