 PE> comp.lang.c probably has 200 messages/day.

  Yes, I know... it's one of the main problems with Internet news
groups. A year ago (or so) I connected to the PCUG Internet mail.
There are so many people talking, all over the world, that the group
ends up split into factions which ignore everyone else. That was where
AVT was so perfect... a dozen regulars who knew each other well. Any
more than that, and it becomes unmanageable. You get lost in the
numbers.

 BL> Yeah, well... I'll have to make other arrangements, by the
 BL> sound of it.

 PE> I thought you said you were happy to join the internet, if I
 PE> started providing internet newsgroups instead of fido ones?

  No... I was happy to use the Internet as the carrier for AVT and
Locuser... the *EXISTING* AVT and Locuser. There's a difference.

 PE> That's exactly what I'm planning on doing, what's the surprise?
 PE> (the surprise is, there's only turkey!) BFN. Paul. 

  That's the problem. This turkey wants to keep talking to the other
AVT number-16 chickens out there. 

Regards,
Bob
