I hope you'll consider coming over to Rich's Google group; like you, I don't
terribly like the web-based interface, and this one seems especially clunky
within Firefox, but the content is there even if the medium is less than
ideal.

Can i ask why not? Is the medium really so objectionable as to render the
content just not worth reading?

I will continue to check here on a regular basis; I haven't seen any spam in
quite a while, but I suspect my news server is just better at handling it
than those of the majority.

Colin -

Switch over to having the content of ToastmastersPrime delivered via email.
It's just like any other email message you received. Even though I'm an IT
guy, I really never have gotten the hang of web-based boards. Just too many
clicks for my liking. Email, though, is simple. I like "push" technology.

I haven't seen any spam either. I read the other group, but I admit I'm
more inclined to reply to a post here, because it is less cumbersome.

As am I.

Anyway, I'll be sticking around.

That's my preference too, though I get those emails delivered to my
gmail box, so it's still web-based. I don't too much mind checking hte
board, but when you click on the thing to see new messages it doesn't
seem to display them all at the top of that list.

I prefer USEnet to web clumsiness.

Even better..... RSS feeds. You can use Google Reader or any of the
other ones (blog lines, firefox manages RSS feeds, etc). This way you
check when you want and you read what you want. Much less cumbersome
than email.

I need fewer places to check for relevant content, not more!
