i am sure i dont know the half of it yet & am still experimenting
but for starters it appears to replicate our bp message board
which would be inconsequential
except it does seem to retain & archive at least some of the
message attachments as promised
tho not jespers plsk jpg for some mysterious reason
& it certainly beats the delivery time of these attachments as
against individual email deliveries
& probably makes subscribing to individual emails for this
purpose no longer necessary
& obviates any need to hand cobble urls &or resort to tinyurl
& it may have a good search engine
tho this is temporarily down
& it may be a good backup & insurance against future yahoo
tsunamis
etc etc
but maybe others can already explain more & better
> Where is it found?
http://news.gmane.org/gmane.culture.discuss.boundary-point
so bookmark that at least
&
news://news.gmane.org/gmane.culture.discuss.boundary-point
tho i havent penetrated this latter facility yet
& the search engine is temporarily down
etc etc
so keep trying & see whats possible & please report any new
discoveries
