   totally with you on that, that's why I love synchronet so much, for   
   example i do most of my replies with nntp clients, i still use the   
   telnet interface a lot, but on the go news client are so convenient!

   Stupid, i don't know, but I'll admit I'm lazy or lacking the time to   
   really promote and animate my board, but at least I'm not complaining   
   about it.   
      
   A board need to offer something different and unique to make it theses   
   days, just having a board on is not enough, was enough in 1981 where you   
   where the only option save CompuServe or a big $$$ service.
