These gardenbanter.co.uk folks are a weird lot.


Certainly are!
Just a few who use that web site know how it works and use it for accessing
Usenet Newsgroups the rest think the world starts and ends with the www and
have never heard of the older Usenet let alone Newsgroups. It's why they
refer to Newsgroups as Forums (well they are if you look it up in a
dictionary, but you know what I mean).
At first I could not understand why that was seeing as most PCs & Laptops
come with Windows and therefor an e-mail client program (Outlook Express or
Windows Live Mail) which includes a Newsreader. However, it appears most of
the newer internet users don't use an e-mail client program but use Web
based mail via their ISP**, they therefor have little control of their mail,
cannot do anything offline, and will never see the word "Newsgroups" in the
headings which might have made them curious.
** One wonders if setting up an e-mail client program might just be too hard
for them or am I being nasty. :-)
