Why not? Do you prefer the web board or a mailing list?

I hate web boards, as I usually must wait for a page to refresh in my
browser everytime I switch between the message list and the contents of
a message. Broadband makes it slightly less painful, but it's still
tedious compared to just switching panes in a newsreader. I suppose a
better-designed web board could alleviate that, but I have yet to see
one that's satisfactorily responsive.

I'm well aware of that. As you can see, those were Gene's quotes of my
message. (I use Xnews (http://xnews.3dnews.net), which enforces the ">"
as quote character by only recognizing that for quote-coloring.)
