What advantage does this newsgroup have over the web forum
(http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewforum.php?f=12)? I would think the
web forum would be more visible. Just curious.

Different strokes for different folks <grin>

Both are different in performance and attributes, select that which you
are more comfortable with.

I like the speed of 'refresh' as well as the access is faster for me
than scrolling/sorting web pages ... and I can design limited filters
and virtual folders; randomly apply sig-lines, and so forth ... not sure
about the low security of a web based NG versus the nntp NG ... both are
abysmally poor IMHO vis-a-vis harvesting my email if I goof and post it
and so on ...
