Re: tracking posts

Ya gotta love the un*x attitude, text-based tools, and emacs lisp.  3
lines to accomplish what probably no other newsreader could hope to
do.

Sadly a lot of useful posting is now done in individual web-based
"forums". Damn hard to keep track of all these disparate sites.  Ya
gotta hate the micro$oft attitude, gui-based tools, and
point-and-click. Thousands of lines of code to accomplish the most
basic chores.

the Catholics or the God of the Protestants in whom you don't
believe?'
