Logging in to multiple groups or forums is too much hassle for me.

Because I never use the same ID/Password combo in more than one place,
I use a password manager - mine's paid for but there are several
freebies out there and even the paid for ones are not that expensive.
All I have to do is browse to location x and the manager automatically
logs me in. An added bonus is that if something isn't right: the code
on the login page has changed, that's detected. The page may look
normal but ...


I'm on two forums. Gardenbanter doesn't need you to log in to read, only
if you want to post, and you can set it up to store your password (OK if
you don't share your computer) so that logging in just means two clicks
to submit a post rather than one.


I don't use Gardenbanter as it's a copy of URG.

It's actually quite a bit more than that. It plagiarises a number of
sources. And I have noticed there is worthy (as opposed to just ask a
question) input entered directly.

I'm not saying forums are better than usenet. There are some things they
do well, and some they do badly - like threading. If you have to make
the move, you can change your behaviour to make the effects less of a
nuisance.

I've no intention of ever making the move. I'll probably die using
Usenet.

I hope you live long enough to see Usenet die first.

I endorse that! Jake, could you please email me re that password
thingy? I have so many and get in a real muddle over them all!
