If okbridge really is a top notch thing, why is there only one post in their
rgbo ng?

Can they ahve forums and/or help that superior to BBO's?

maybe they have a forum.

because that group is not used. The group is moderated and access is
through their webpage. While not 100% sure, you seem to have to be a
member to post.

A member? I am laughing so much these days. The communists were a

Several years ago they switched from a NG to a discussion group.

OKB may be better than BBO - several people think so - but it is
somewhat like saying a Rolls Royce is better than a middle of the road
Ford. Both excellent products in their own way, but since the Rolls is
considerably more expensive, there are far more middle of the road Fords
than Rolls Royces around.

Curious. I suppose it means something, but the clarity is lacking.
