- A newsgroup wouldn't change that. It would merely mean you wouldn't have to look at the posting on a given day if you didn't want to, and your mailbox won't fill up. The only difference is instead of

- I'll add my two cents worth and totally agree with Larry. I just downloaded today's batch (87) which took all of about 1 minute. Heck, it took me about that long to boot up the system when I came in!

- Frankly, I was surprised to find that there wasn't a MG newsgroup. Usenet was the first place I looked. I would welcome such a NG in addition to this list, not as a replacement. I'm a model airplane
