Another explanation occurs to me. Most of the traffic on the X news group is (a) frustrated people trying to get around questionable design decisions, (b) frustrated people trying to figure out documentation, (c) frustrated people trying to report and/or work around bugs, and (d) frustrated people trying to decide if they have found a bug. Perhaps NeWS is bug-free, well documented, and easy to understand. :-) -- Mike Coffin mike@arizona.edu Univ. of Ariz. Dept. of Comp.
